This is a solid company with a lot to offer. The opportunities here are truly exciting, with a variety of projects that are both challenging and engaging. I've had the privilege of working alongside some incredibly talented people, and the collaborative environment makes it a great place to learn and grow. The company culture is supportive, and the people are genuinely good, which makes a huge difference in day-to-day work.

A major plus is the work-life balance, which is genuinely good and allows for a healthy personal life outside of work. The food provided is also a standout perk, consistently high-quality and varied.

While I'm happy here, there's always room for improvement. The compensation could be more competitive, especially given the market and the high caliber of work being done. In terms of future growth, I'd love to see the company be more proactive in exploring new and emerging fields. Specifically, I think there is a huge opportunity to invest more heavily in areas like artificial intelligence and other related technologies. Embracing these areas would not only keep us at the forefront of the industry but also create even more dynamic and forward-thinking

Disclaimer: My role of UX Director in the USA was eradicated in July 2017 and the following is based on my views from July 2017. 

The company maintains an offshore business model (low priced development) and while intentions to migrate to being a cutting-edge, innovative organization are articulated, it doesn't appear to have the capability to break out of platform-based features and services development and simple web apps. As such, innovation is largely absent and budgets are not conducive to the research necessary to get the company where it wants to be.
People are warm, friendly and respectful for the most part. Autonomy and trust are given to employees.

The customer consulting work was great and after two years we hit a big contract that supported many engineers.  However, they turned around and laid off all US solution architects over 50 years old and substituted Indian engineers with no experience to meet the contracts.  A key team of ex-IBM 50+ year old engineers (4 people) have all been laid off or retired in the past year.  The company goal is to harvest the US and EU markets for product resale and consulting work using India based staff.  I would not recommend this company as it has no global vision.

You’ve given none of the essential tools you need to do the job. They wanted an entire IT depot run out of a small closet in a conference room. There is no room to move you surrounded by boxes and nobody knows about anything going out. I was expected to institute my own tracking system my own everything there was no infrastructure replaced to support a rollout of the They wanted to do. They give you lip service Telling you help is on the way. Hire people that are friends of theirs apparently they are completely under skilled and slow you down rather than help you out. Some of the same employees thought the job was beneath them and walked out to make sure to hire them back. Ethnocentric

The company simply throws itself at every work opportunity without giving full consideration as to whether they can do the work or not. If they do happen to win, they scramble to see anyone can actually meet the project requirements.  It is a haphazard mess. 

There is no career development at all. No discussion of goals personal or professional. Everything is about skills.  Do you have enough boxes to check off so you can be considered an asset for a project?  If not then once you can't work a project you will be let go.

Strictly a body shop.

My time at Persistent was spent mostly acting as a Microsoft employee.  It was a strange balance to find between two 'company identities'.  While on one hand I was engaged and day-to-day with the client (Microsoft) I was struggling to understand where I fit at Persistent and lacking almost any clarity on what the organization was doing or how it was structured.

In many ways it always felt like I was a Microsoft employee, yet when the contract came up it was clear I was and I found myself aloof with mutual lack of understanding.

The Projects here are good and challenging. You get to learn a lot of things while developing.

The HR treats the employee in pathetic manner. They don't care about your problem and will force you to come office even there is a medical emergency.
They will talk about work life balance and will treat you like a servant while talking one on one.

You get 2.25 leaves per month. An average of 8 - 10 % increment. Project Layoffs are kind of new normal here. 100-200 employees gets ramped down in a moment after working tirelessly day night . Eventually getting you laid off from company.

AVOID JOINING THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT A SECURE FUTURE

There is a lot of interesting work happening if you manage to get into the right project.  If not, it can be very frustrating.  

There is good work-life balance.  

The middle management only serves the purpose of passing messages between customers and developers.  Very few of them can really engage with the customer.

Senior management (SVP/VP level) is very paranoid and insecure.  They will not share responsibilities easily, which limits your growth.

Persistent is a technology consulting company. I worked at Persistent for almost 10 years. Very focused on technology and always cares of the customer interests and success. 
Being a consulting company everyone is always on their toes to serve the customer. 
Persistent works in various domain and has built SMEs over the period of time. It is great experience to work with Persistent, especially for building the career.

Typical Indian IT company which focuses on customers in the US for revenues and don't care much about employee's career. Focuses very much on the $ billing they get from the customers/clients. You don't directly for the company but through them for their customers.
