Pros

Many changes are brought and currently only pros is Flexible work timings

Cons

When Ciklum was started it India it had one of the best practices in markets, policies and best leadership team. Once the top management changed, currently the work culture and practices are becoming more toxic day by day. The old values and company culture are changed and it has become old school practices now. If you have a good rapport with the top delivery head then even if you don't work you will be valued more. But though you are a hardworker but if you don't have proper rapport with him you will no more be with the company and will be sent out. All old ciklumer's are either sent out by giving various reasons or they should be quite by accepting all internal politics. We can see lot of cultural differences before and now and can clearly see that people are not valued and mirco managed. The top leaders will show themselves as friendly but will keep teasing individuals on floor in front of other colleagues which will hurt our internal feelings. Though they have hybrid work practices, he wants everyone to be in office all days. We were initially onboarded remotely and now the management wants us either to come or resign. The management never considers the distance people travels to office but always insist them to be in office though they travel 80kms to and fro and keeps saying he is doing everything for people wellness. Hope there will be more changes brought which will never align with market standards going forward. Due to all these changes and job insecurity lots and lots of old ciklumer's have started to leave now and started to look out for job.

Pros

Considering all my previous experiences, I would say that Ciklum is a very decent employer. Firstly, the vibe here is all about maturity and openness. It's like we're all part of this big, respectful team. Secondly, it is truly a global company where you cooperate with different people from around the globe. Still, Ciklum provides people with an opportunity to work remotely, making work life more flexible and agile. I guess some people may not grasp the strategic statements, since Ciklum is an outsourcing company. But if you want to listen and understand, then you will. I appreciate the openness when it comes to the strategy for this year. And it's really cool to see that the employer brings these statements to life – recently, Ciklum announced the acquisition in the USA to further grow in this market. And I think they really analyzed their clients’ experiences, started to sign some industry leaders' logos, and enhanced the transparency of delivery for clients through new digital tools. Some obvious stuff but still worth mentioning: Ciklum provides many opportunities for personal development, so if you want to boost your expertise, you will find ways to do so. Starting from certifications and managerial programs to participation in industrial events. Ciklum values proactive talents, so if you are ready to share your knowledge with the world, you can be sure that they will find opportunities for you and help make your presentation at a decent level. But I guess the most important thing for me is Ciklum’s culture and people overall: they are friendly, open-minded, and full of energy to do great things. It’s really important to feel this spirit.
