Pros

If you are aggressive and have street smartness of a third world country to circumvent the systems you may become very successful in the company

Cons

>The company spends very little money on training its staff in US >Because it is small company presence at any client is small (some big clients are exception to the rule) so there is absolutely no mentoring available as you may be the only person at the site. > Most people at Virtusa are playing a stretch role so they suck at their current position even if they are talented, leading to chaos at every function. This comment is valid for the executive team as well > The yearly review process is completely broken; some issues are: -The supervisors are not close to their reportees performance - The written reviews are not enforced by the company, the employees most often end up with a grade (which in itself makes the employees feel like a juvenile) for the quarterly/yearly review with almost no support for it -Promotions are mostly based on tenures and whoever asks first and not as a reward for performance or recognition of employees potential -If and when you get promoted don't expect a raise > Just like a third world country a class system exist within the company, for example depending on whether you are an employee of Virtusa India or US you may be put in a different hotel

Pros

Opportunity to work on large-scale enterprise projects. Exposure to modern technologies and diverse client environments.

Cons

Excessive micromanagement limits autonomy and creates a lack of trust. Workplace culture suffers from poor communication and limited collaboration. Employee feedback is often ignored, making it difficult to drive positive change. Career growth and recognition are inconsistent and heavily dependent on management. Work environment can be stressful, with employee well-being receiving little attention. Leadership within Connected Commerce is a major concern. The LOB lead's management style is often perceived as disrespectful, dismissive, and overly controlling. Employees may feel uncomfortable expressing opinions or raising concerns, leading to low morale and reduced engagement. Rather than fostering a culture of trust and empowerment, the leadership approach contributes to a negative and demotivating work environment.
