Pros

NOTHING!! You will get to work on age old rusty technologies, which are of no use in current market, 2 years gone, you will realise that you can only work here and no place else. That is why most of the people re join this company. Technical management still lives in 1980s and they absolutely disregard the current trend. Worst people to work with!!!

Cons

Manager will delay the project and put the blame on Junior. Junior will get minimum salary hike because of this. If you are a politician personality, you will flourish here and bag 20% hike every time. Manager and lead will shout at you and Scar your mental health so bad that you will remember it even after years of leaving this company. 0% Employee Centric. If you are creative, they will mock you, laugh at you and make you like themselves. HR Department is seen only at the time of off-boarding, they are asleep rest of the time, you cannot complain to anyone. Extreme Favouritism based on your Home State, If you are 3 people in a room, the other 2 will talk amongst themselves in their native language and ignore you. They hate people who leave after completing 9 hours. They love people who love to stay till 2 in the morning everyday and people who do not have a life outside of Smartstream. My advice- Do not Join this company in India. Choose life over this. Choose unemployment over this. Hope this detailed review helps someone.

Pros

Since this is a British company we get excellent vacation and PTO. You get 20 days of vacation every year which can be taken anytime and the global HR from Bristol ensures that all employees are given their time off. I was in the Jacksonville, Florida office so my experience is based on that branch. Company wide policy states that we are suppose to work 2 days onsite and 3 day remote however this is rarely followed. I worked at SmartStream for 3 years and depending on the team you are assigned too you'll get a different experience. My teams FEMS (Fees and Expense Management Solutions) did not allow working remotely except on Mondays and it was very difficult to request any remote work. Other teams in the same office like Collateral, etc. were almost fully remote with them barely coming onsite with some people only working at the office once every 6 months. In fact for the 3 years that I was there I would say that other than our section (Expense Fees and Management) the office was completely empty most of the time. They also sponsor you for trips to other branches around the work like our Bangalore Branch and London.

Cons

The pay is not the best
