Pros

Great legacy .. poor management team. Saved by Abu Dhabi oil dollars. Good PR team that gets company regularly published.

Cons

Loss making company .. barely makes as much as a small startup. Each year is a new excuse why the top team didn't perform. Hard to understand why the CEO is still keep in his job as much as the whole board. Rife with internal politics. Just a matter of time that the company will probably be sold off for pittens.

Pros

Great existing client base from a past era (I was there through 3 different CEO's), and a few good people left (the ones who remain loyal and are probably a little scared to move on as they have likely priced themselves out of the market due to management offering over-inflated salaries just to keep them from jumping).

Cons

Simply put....Leadership. A complete lack of a coherent strategy, management don't listen to staff, no product innovation, exec's consumed with political infighting between divisions, any internal staff challenge is viewed as being a 'nay-sayer' and not welcomed, lots of unhappy clients that are not referencable, any profits made have to be paid back to their owners (Dubai) so no investment for new product innovation, just check out the Rating Trend on this website to get a feel of how this company is going!

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.
