Dislikes

Favoritism with Cians team - its hard to believe that some with just 5 years of experience became "Assistant Director" without any real knowledge. One of the Associate Director says that HR is merely a management puppet that only listen to us. I heard that Associate Director in Cians team promoted early as he was biggest bootlickerand heavy drinker, now he is making cartel of his team in leu of promotion & appraisals, and removed intelligent / genuine people from his team who were not his bootlickers. He is a part of LGBTQ campaign to gain HR team confidence and making fun in behind Canteen can be improved Infrastructure can be improved...Read More

Team members are good and supportive.

Dislikes

Work culture, people in senior management are horrible. There is no point of having a POSH training cause even the senior people will harass you, try to get into your personal life and sexually harass junior employees. Management has no tech understanding and micromanages everything.

Likes

Cab facility is provided which is a plus.

Dislikes

Promotions here are like dry promotions. There is micro management by Managers. There are rotational shifts in certain teams with employees asked to work in graveyard shifts.

They don’t fire you.

Dislikes

If mediocrity is what you seek then this is the right place. Mediocre people stay here for a decade and get promoted to become managers. Technically poor, scared of losing their jobs so they will do anything that top management says. They ask you to work on weekends and crib when you need holiday. Work culture will be projected as positive and helpful, but it’s all fake.

No work life balance, no sick leave, every day you have to work beyond shift hours (normally 11-12 hours per day), no flexibility, micromanagement at every point

Company is ok to work with. However there infrastructure is not good. Promotion policy is not good. Salaries are less. Work environment is ok, mostly depends upon how your manager behaves. Lastly, They have very limited parking slots.

Dislikes

Promotion policy, no learnings, they use employee and harass them for promotion. Salary hike is like you are asking too much.

When I transferred to pune office, here it is like 1 person is manager favourite so manager needs his promotion his work to be less and all extra perks. I was manager there still I use to report DL in that team because DL is favorit of my Associate Director. I don't refer anyone to this company it is shit in pune.

The insurance policy is really good. If we compare the insurance policies with other companies, it is awesome.

Dislikes

Acuity was the biggest mistake of my life. I realized this within 1 year and left the company. The work environment is terribly toxic. The managers favor just a certain set of people with whome they have personal relationships. The management is not at all fair and there is no proper redressal of problems. The work in itself is ofgood quality and there is much to learn, but the environment is not at all peaceful. It is full of toxicity and that is the reason for their extra ordinarily high levels of attrition. Acuity will always be hiring even in the low market situation because there is always a larger pool leaving the organisation. I would never join back neither would recommend anyone to join this organisation purely for their terrible work culture and poor management. The management knows the reality but they don’t want anything to improve. Guess thats what they want...Read More
