Pros

Salary on time Regular work provided Some perks are good

Cons

Management is not very employee friendly. HR function is not managed well. Food served during night is of low quality. No appraisal and structured pay hikes. It depends on the manager how you take care of him. No proper direction and feedback provided on company matters.

Thank you for your review. Also, we appreciate your kind words with respect to your salary, work and perks. To address your comment regarding the quality of the daily meals that are served in the Pune office, it is relevant to note that the provider and the menu is selected by a committee of employees (recruiters like yourself) in the office, not the managers. The service provider and the menu is reviewed on a regular basis and will be changed based on feedback. We are disheartened that you had a sub-optimal experience with Management and HR. Please reach out to me any time. I would appreciate discussing your concerns over people being treated like a commodity, as Akraya takes great pride in our people-first culture.

Pros

They are extremely communicative meaning there will be multiple contacts to assure that the process is moving. They were able to provide me daily updates and they handled both sides extremely well. I also appreciate them following through and being consistent with expectations as it was a hard time for me at the time.

Cons

No real cons to report

Pros

My experience with Akraya was positive in terms of the people, but disappointing from a compensation standpoint. The team I interacted with, Abhinav, who initially reached out, Priya and Saira who supported onboarding, and Shifa who handled timesheets, were all professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Communication throughout the process was clear, and the onboarding experience was smooth overall. The hiring process itself was straightforward, though fairly average and not particularly differentiated from other agencies.

Cons

However, the compensation and benefits offered are significantly below market standards. After evaluating comparable opportunities, it became clear that similar roles through other agencies could offer substantially higher pay, potentially in the range of 50–75% more along with better overall benefits.
