Pros
1. Friendly colleagues 2. Some dedicated analysts 3. Helpful admin and IT department but always overburdened
Cons
1. The top management think that because attrition and client losses have happened in the past it is not something to worry about. Good people leave. People who can't find a job anywhere else are left. 2. There is no match what Fractal has capability to do and the work that has to be done. Sales folks say yes to all client requests. Analysts suffer having to do impossible tasks in crazy timeframes with little or no manager guidance. Managers are only available to take credit. 3. Some people work 14-18 hours a day. Many people come in after 12 and leave by 6. Even some top management (SVP and VP level) contribute nothing but just talk and talk and talk. 4. Spends money on air tickets but can't give its analysts a raise. 5. Takes on random clients for short projects and calls them logo wins. 6. Worst HR department. Never ever helpful for anything. There is zero long term plan. Most decisions are completely random and replaced by more random decisions. Fractal is alive because of sheer luck.
