Pros

3 days work from home

Cons

The organization suffers from poor planning and management. Employees can be asked to leave abruptly without clear communication or notice. Workload is extremely high, especially during “AI Week,” when teams are forced to complete an unrealistic number of stories within a short time frame. HR support is minimal — only a few people manage the entire department, and they rarely respond or provide assistance. There’s a constant stream of ad-hoc work, unplanned meetings, and weekly one-to-one sessions that add to the stress. Salary increments are limited to a very small group of employees, and deployments often take place over weekends, severely impacting work-life balance. Overall, not an employee-friendly culture.

Pros

Zycus has proven that they put the rubber to the road when it comes to investing in the technology that we offer to our prospective customers. With the foresight of what may appear to be new offerings are in fact seasoned solutions that were thought of years ago and invested in for a long period of time, specifically our AI solution. With an impression amount of capital investment, I foresee the solutions Zycus offers staying ahead of the pack and our customer base (Zycus Community) continuing to grow.

Cons

At times it has proven a little slow to get things from the request to approval stage however, although that is a current struggle and speaking on the US market, along with the continual investment in the technology, there appears to be substantial investment taking place the people and specifically onshore leadership!
