Absolute People Screen Senior Software Developer Reviews

Employer’s Response

This review has been written by an intern who either absconded or was terminated for cause. Majority of the candidates who intern with us leave on a very positive note and have a great work experience with us. Some interns join and expect that as a part of the Work Culture they can sit at their workstations with ear phones plugged in and work while listening to music, keep phones at their workstation to check WhatsApp and do what it pleases. Being a company that handles customer and candidate sensitive data we do not allow phones at workstation, don't permit earphones at work and some interns see this as freedom taken away from them and hence link this with work culture. Interns are required to read their offer letters to understand the stipend payment date. Majority of the interns do not read the stipend payout date and then start complaining only to be directed back and told to reach the offer letter. Interns are not allowed leaves except in cases of family emergency or exams. Often some interns choose to have an emergency every single week and hence leaves are denied. If someone on the team has one emergency per week it is a serious problem to have. Interns are not permitted or eligible for leaves and hence all leaves are to be covered. The same is mentioned clearly on the Offer Letter under Schedule 1. All companies that are in the services domain where productivity and delivery to the client on time is of paramount importance will require interns to cover up for loss of productive hours. If an intern is late one of days we do not insist for a cover up but if someone is a chronic or a habitual late comer then we have to ask them to cover up for loss of productive time. It is important to notice the irony here - That the intern who has written this review has a problem with late payment of stipend (as claimed by him/her) but at the same time thinks that it is perfectly fine to come to the office 15 minutes late regularly and the company shouldn't ask them to cover up. We got to play it even. When you as an intern are late to office then suddenly you expect that it is OKAY to do this but if the company is late (if at all) in release of stipend then suddenly it is NOT OKAY. We got to even it out somewhere.

Dear Ex-Colleague - Before you walk down the road of complaints and dislikes perhaps you should read your offer letter. A lot of people who join a company do not read their offer letters. An internship is not a job and hence stipend is not salary. Please review the schedule of stipend release before complaining that it is late. A stipend is nothing, but a payment made to a trainee or a person - who is a learner - for living expenses. It is unlike a salary or wages which an employer pays to an employee. This 'stipend' amount is a pre-determined sum paid by the employer to aid offset expenses. Some interns confuse internship with a job and hence confuse stipend with salary. As a company we pay well over the average market and the statistics are available on Internshala. At our current stipend rate, we pay better than 86% of the companies in Delhi NCR. So, when you apply for an internship with Absolute People Screen Pvt. Ltd. you are assured that you are being paid a stipend that is better than what 86% of the companies in Delhi NCR pay to interns. Please read your Offer Letter regarding leaves. Interns are not allowed leaves except for medical reasons or exams. We do not ask people to come on Sunday and work. Our office is closed on Sundays. The nature of our business is such that you cannot undertake any domestic verification work on a Sunday. You have also mentioned that: "Directors Are Not Up To Their Words". Please go ahead and give reference to an incident so that we can respond appropriately.

Thank You for your short and concise response. If you plan your day and work in a structured manner you may actually feel that the work is not hectic at all (except for a few days here and there).

This review has been added by an individual who absconded from duties (we won't be putting their name in the public domain) and then has decided to add 2 identical reviews. See another identical review at the bottom. This is just a bogus and a sham review and hence we won't be commenting much on this review.

Our response to this review is as under: 1) Our Client Relations Team hasn't worked on Sundays for over 3 years now. This review is false and misguiding. Our Clients are off on Sundays and majorly work Monday - Saturday and hence our workday and work times are aligned with our Clients. There is no need for anyone from our Client Relations Team to work a Sunday. If there is ever a need to work over and beyond the call of duty for anyone then we encourage remote working and offer Work From Home where ever it is possible. 2) Our Directors are extremely down to earth and their behaviour towards all colleagues is impeccable. Anyone who has worked with our company will vouch for the fact that our Directors are very friendly, work oriented, helpful and will go over and beyond to assist all colleagues. At the same time, they need the job to be done and expect the job to be done. 3) Our Operations Head has been Working From Home since February 2022 and currently on maternity leave. She is due to return shortly. The individual who has written this review is simply disgruntled and this review is totally bogus and sham. Our Operations Head has had no direct interaction with the team for almost a year now. 4) Salary Delays - Please review and study your employment agreement to understand the payroll date. Sometimes people do not study the employment offer and don't see the payroll date and come to a conclusion that salaries are delayed. Yes, at times due to unavoidable circumstances salaries run late and this happens in many companies. The world is in a recession and 'Possibility Of Avoiding Recession Really Narrow, 2023 Will Be Worse Than 2022,' Says IMF's Gita Gopinath. So we need to live in real times and it appears that the individual who wrote this review is living in Gala Land. 5) Likes: Nothing: Our recommendation is that you should switch a job if not already. If you like nothing about our company then perhaps we have made a mistake hiring you and you've made a larger mistake by being with us. Although we are of the opinion that this review hasn't been written by any of our colleagues.
