Open to ideas but lacks communication and presence.
Pros
1. Open to ideas ; Sr. Mgmt wants everybody to open up in meetings and share their views 2. The onboarding process for new hires is quick 3. Importance is given to Quality. Moving towards CMMI Assessments. Internal audits are being conducted. 4. Company is expanding rapidly. 5. Recently came to know that the CEO is still very active on the technical side and got some insights about how he solved customer requirements very quickly. Awesome ! 6. Regular meetings on Farming - is a very good practice.
Cons
1. Town halls are totally absent. In the last 8 months since I joined, there was only 1 Town Hall set up with the CEO. 2. Information about Quarks is on LinkedIn first and comes to the employees later. 3. Though it is a small company work in silos is very evident. 4. Senior management is absent from the Bangalore office. They are seen only on occassions. And work only with their teams. Interaction with the rest of the team coming to office is minimal. 5. The Bangalore office shifted to a new venue on 1st June, but its been more than 3 weeks for the Biometric to be set up. 6. There were emails to celebrate "Christmas", "Makar Sankranti" and "Holi". What about "Eid ul Fitr " ?? There is a WhatsApp group for the Bangalore location. Some senior leaders (including HR personnel) wished for other festivals, but none for Eid. This may seem to be "Discriminatory language", because, it is felt. But, doesn't this negate the policy of "Diversity and inclusivity" ?
