Pros

Great people, although most have now left Potential to improve Good base salary and benefits SLT are improving the amount of communication from the top down.

Cons

What used to make RM a great place to work is the people. Most of which have now left or, are looking to leave. The company is going through a massive restructure and currently in transition. Despite open conversations regarding issues, management appear oblivious to the companies inability to deliver even the basic services to our customers. Focus required on service delivery rather than expecting structural changes to fix all the issues. Customers are unhappy and sensing the cultural shift. Last year, sales targets were released in Q3. This year we're 8 months in and although we have a target, we have no way to measure our performance due to the new and complex commission structure. Poor internal systems and manual processes make Account Management near impossible. Quotes and project design work can take months at which point customer will have purchased from elsewhere. Antiquated CRM system with little to no reporting. The company is falling behind with its product offering. In a fast moving industry its lack of agility is showing. New product launches are unsuccessful at best and existing product set has remained stagnant for years. Not agile enough bringing new solutions to market. Unmanageable workloads mean little work/life valance. Set to worsen with the imminent leavers.

Pros

Stable Domain & Impact: RM Education focuses exclusively on ed-tech and the education sector. Employees appreciate contributing to software and services that shape future generations.Great for Beginners: Because of its heavily process-oriented nature, it provides a relaxed, ambient environment for freshers and junior developers to learn coding standards and corporate practices.Excellent Benefits: Consistently praised for offering strong perks, including comprehensive health insurance and solid, reliable leave policies.Culture and Location: The Indian offices—particularly in Kerala—are lauded for friendly colleagues, strong cultural celebrations, and good overall team camaraderie.

Cons

Below-Market Salaries: This is the most common critique among current and former staff. Compensation packages and yearly appraisal hikes frequently fall short of broader Indian IT industry standards.Slow Growth and Bureaucracy: The process-heavy nature that benefits beginners can feel restrictive to mid-level and senior professionals. Bureaucracy and multiple layers of approval can make decision-making and career progression feel sluggish.Fluctuating Work-Life Balance: While team-dependent, some departments experience tight delivery deadlines and high workloads during peak academic seasons, leading to extended hours and reported micromanagement.Structural Uncertainty: Like many companies deeply tethered to specific international markets (like the UK), job security can periodically feel precarious depending on organizational restructuring and global market shifts.
