ikaSystems Layoffs

Ikasystems started people layoffs today, it was very bad news and company layoff more than 40 people out of 300 employee that means, it is very serious ...they history track
Few key points.. Ikasystems management should realize before take this discussion, they can reduce company cost ?
why they need three buildings it is full enough hey stand on 132 and 134 building
They don't need 118 building and spend more money, ,
why they need another building spending all money on the chairs and, new desktops
and etc,
Even why they need to provide Friday lunch...? No one ask will if they are not n profit
Still need to reduce the cost, for management side not the operational side..

I mean they reduce manager's like VP, senior VP, Director, sales team.. Doing this practice they are good to go...

Thanks for reading

Dear Ikasystems,
If you really doing layoff Please start from sr. managers and Director like Chinmay Nanavati? why this guy for company? wht did so far? wht is the impact if you layoff this guys ?.

Please start from him, now he started offshore and outsourcing game plan..and doing time-pass. He doesn't know anything about clients, healthcare domain and etc ?
so, start from him then every one agree layoff are going as per policy, But lot of people working from 5 years who were layoff, it is very bad. Wht did Chinmay Nanavati so far? Nothing he is wasting all of management time and diverting all managers time like the Policy, QA and release like these are time pass in the company for Chinmay Nanavati.

If you really want to work for ikasystems please get the clients and start the release process, without doing this and getting release process, that means your are
worsting the time for all management?
I know, i already out of job due to you? But still Chinmay Nanavati friends are in QA, wht they are doing nothing, still getting payslips.

Dear Chinmay Nanavati, please reply if you did something apart from release Chinmay Nanavati policy

I am one of the "infrastructure" (database and system managers) laid off previously, in May 2014. We typically worked 60-70 hours weekly to support production. We had no backups. We had 2 weeks' notice of the layoffs; I had 2 weeks' severance pay - and our jobs were sent offshore to India and Mexico...The developers and system admins with whom I worked were outstanding, even at 3 a.m. when we fixing issues. Unfortunately, the management in place in 2014 did not think that we added value. Great software. No respect for employees. Not exactly truthful about ability to recover applications.

Do not be wooed by these charlitans. Worst company in Mass hands down. No leadership, no direction, no processes, no respect. BCBS should drop these dopes.

Still 10 percent people in ika just collecting the paychecks without doing anything. These people are surviving just because of stupid managers. This would impact on working people. Upper management should keep an eye on them.
Message to all managers: please understand that, IKA is not charity. It is a group of working people. Please consider people who are working and giving value the company.

Moreover noone was informed about how the candidates for lay off were chosen. There were good candidates who used to work hard and were laid off .. Mainly communism played a big part in layoff .. The company is unprofessional enough to layoff people without giving even 2 weeks notice period.. It sucks .. and its been anticipated that the lay off process has just started, people can be thrown anytime .. Those already working will have to work under high pressure with loads of work .. And those rated at lowest will be thrown again..

ikaSystems Worst management

Ikasystems is one of the worst companies to work with, as mentioned by people already.. people who applaud for it or favour it are those who have been given unnecessary upper hand.. that stupid is one a****** who has no managerial sense/ capabilties, has no idea about how a company is run.. working 24*7 does not mean that the person is capable of managing other people.. in fact there are people with better technical and managerial qualities.. there is no process in the company followed (process exists but its not followed ) ... its like giving a donkey a position of lion, donkey is only capable of carrying tons of load, he cannot rule the jungle ... favourism is at its top, with exploitation of capable people... there is no escalation process in the company which makes it difficult for people to sustain If this continues, the attrition rate of the company will keep on increasing. Mr Ravi Ika is definitely most intelligent and capable person but it high time he needs to deal this issue very seriously ...And finally suggestion for new employees - do not join this company and please don think that if u have set an expectation initially (either with HR or new manager) while joining the company, tak note that u will be demoted from what u have done in your previous company.

ikaSystems upper management and H1B visas

there is so much nepotism here that many good people leave because they offend someones wife or sister or whatever. people put in charge not because they know but because who they are and can never be fired or demoted for wrong things. my boss is the worse I agree.

Do you have any ideas on how many extracts and Clients his wife and sister worked on? and if you have a problem, his doors are still open buddy. Go talk to him once. I bet it will make a difference.

He handles too many things and at times its bound that he would miss things. Go talk to him. It will surely be considered. By the ways his sister and wife dont work for him anymore.

ikaSystems Stupid management

Worse management ever, I do not blame the company, but the managers in the company are horrible. That stupid ### /name removed/ must be fired, for the company to be better. People are wondering why that /name removed/ is made the head of everything, while he is a headless man. His wife is a dumbo and he has her working in her team. he is trying to take control of everything and have command over everyone in ika. There are many people in ika who can be really good managers and directors. Worst company to work for. No annual reviews. forget about a pay raise.

Being jobless is better than taking torture from this company. All the bosses in this company should go through a training program where they teach how a manager/boss should be.

He doesnt have any certification to be what he is today. who made him a director of business analysis. He is one main reason why ikasystems is poor in client satisfaction. He needs to know how to deal with team members. “Kukkani simhasanam meeda koorchopettinattu ” there is a saying in india which means “making a dog sit in the royal chair of the king” .

THere is noo work culture in this place. Please look for jobs in other places. Do not work here.

they have an employee referral program, but when u refer someone, they say they cant hire them coz they are on H1 that employee referral program is a fake program and is not true. Don fall for it.

This company prepares you for the hiring process, then when you cannot understant the English of the hiring manager, your dead in the water without and explanation why. For me the IT guy who was the hiring manager knew less that I did so he got pissy and started drawing noneseance diagrams of ftp networks, which I know well. He said you cannot connet to a remote location with a domain name only a ip address.
This I know is not true. What a bunch of flakes.

The above statement is not correct. Management has changed and so are the Process. The place is good to work in now. I been working there since a year now and my Boss - Sasi and the entire team has been very helpful.

I got reviewed at the end of the Year and got a Systematic raise as well. Loved it.
