Research Associate Salary in Coonoor

Likes

First of all, the company provided a scope for me since I've employed as a fresher and provided a good learning curve on basics of research methodologies and report structure. It provided good rewards and bonuses in the 1st year and was in a competitive atmosphere. The 1st year was peaceful with a good work-life balance, but 2024 turn out to be a 'CURSE'. Idk what made them so ridicule to engage us into working on weekends. Production messed up, sales dwindled, poor growth and lack of coordination. I can't say its a messed up organisation but with zigzag routines, improper HR policies, sick leadership from Manager and TL's, this organisation will collapse within a short frame.

Dislikes

Overworking Hours (14-16) Less pay structure No Hike, No Appraisal (4-6%) Dominating Team Leads and Bosses Copy Paste work Lame ME's You are not going to do any justice by doing layoffs without proper notice. BEWARE OF KARMA!! Good luck to HR Head and Domain Heads and TL's.

Dislikes

1. Delayed Salary Increments: The process of salary increments is often delayed, which impacts motivation and financial planning. 2. High Salary Deductions: The deductions, particularly compared to other companies in the industry, are noticeably higher. For instance, the medical insurance deduction of ₹2.4k per month is quite steep. 3. Extended Working Hours: While the official working hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, in reality, employees are expected to work from 8:10 AM until around 9:00 PM on most days, leading to a poor work-life balance. 4. Unsatisfactory Canteen Food: The quality of the food provided in the canteen leaves much to be desired, contributing to an overall negative daily experience. Uncomfortable workspace
