Salary on 25th day of the month

Dislikes

Full of politics, no support from seniors, they will not give any support to new joiners, no one will hear you, seniors do shout on you they think they are the king. Very bad work culture, no benefits. They think new joiners are already trained and they know everything, seniors will threaten you. They do warn. HR will not hear. Within a month of joining they do expect that you know everything about their process organization and ask you to perform indidually with out any support and they play blam game on each other. Overall very bad experience...Read More

I wish I had something to like about Airtel Africa, it was a mistake joining this organisation even after going through Glassdoor and Ambition box ratings. Platforms like Ambition box and Glassdoor should introduce zero or negative ratings for such companies.

Dislikes

1) Less capable people in higher positions. 2) Complete "Lala" culture, micromanagement at it's peak. 3) Politics and toxicity is at the next level, so if you are not good enough dealing with these two atrocities then don't join, trust me and thank me later. 4) HR doesn't have any say, there's absolutely no attention to employee welfare, they dance on the tunes of management. I remember my exit interview where the HR took pride in providing such trying circumstances to survive, said if you can survive here, you can survive anywhere, I wasn't shocked because I was accustomed to being shocked during my tenure. 5) You have to come to office on 5 days even if someone in your family died, for HR and managers it's an excuse irrespective of whether it is genuine reason. 6) Pay structure is designed such that your variable gets paid out once in a year, if you quit before that time, you don't get anything. 7) Job security is an issue, the sword is always hanging on top of your shoulder. I can go on and on, this place literally played with my psyche and emotional and physical well being, people at the higher positions lack professionalism and will say anything that comes to mouth, so if you're familiar with such culture and comfortable then only consider joining. You have to work with 14 African nations, some of these folks don't even know what it means to have a mature and polite discussion, join at your own peril if you're not comfortable in such an environment....Read More

Dislikes

Manager thinks he is the son in law of the company. He does too intentional gas lighting, power dynamics and exhibits poor managerial and leadership skills. Manager sets unrealistic expectations and set you intentionally up for failure because he is too weak to be insecure of even entry level employee and blames his uneffectiveness on you.

very toxic work culture, politics at its peak, micro management with only some employees. managers have affair with female colleagues and they think they can do anything if you raised your voice they will force you to resign or change your team. Managers only favors to their "Chatu" employees or to those have same caste

Arguably the worst organisation to work in considering there are no employee benefits other than a postpaid sim card that comes with a max limit. Coming to cons, I can mention end number of them but let's settle at a few: 1) Horrible culture that starts with micromanagement and ends with calls on Sunday morning with commands (not requests) to work on random issues and requirements. 2) No one cares about quality of development and wants features to be delivered within hours without proper testing and release plan. 3) Every team faces comparison from other teams despite the fact that actual problem lies in the senior officials who work like daily wage workers. 4) Flexibility - what is that? You get paid to come 5 days in office and spend 9 hours daily without expecting a single moment of gratitude. 5) Every small request is met with personal comments/insults by HR and managers who have teamed up to make every employee's life a living hell. 6) They can't fix a coffee machine and that's why we cannot expect a working infra either which has zero support for developers. 7) Pollution, rain, earthquake, fire or tornado should not stop you from arriving into office to earn the daily wage. They are just excuses in the eyes of HR who is busy hiring paid PR to improve the rating of this excuse of an organisation....Read More

Nothing to like here in this company. Only your salary will come on time.

Dislikes

List is huge but will mention main points only. 1. No flexibility of WFH or hybrid and you have to come 5 days to office. 2. If you are living in Noida or Noida office is near to you then also you have to travel 3 hours to come to office in gurgaon to satisfy HR/Management egos. 3. Floor environment is worst than any BPO, everyone keeps on shouting or discuss everything on your heads and also people attend their calls on laptop speakers in loud voice. You can not focus on your work and then you have to work in night at home. 4. Managers and HR are not supportive here they will play with you like a ball if you raise any concern with them. 5. No cabs facility and food is worst. 6. No learning opportunities and they will never invest on you for learning as like other companies do in form of training and certification. 7. If you are joining here in the name of Airtel my request to you do not join as things are totally different and you will never feel like product based company here. 8. Managers are not that much technical here....Read More

Work culture is very toxic. You have to work sat and Sunday, micromanagement is at peak.You have to complete your 9 hours minimum. Manager and Director and their senior doesn't have family so they will treat you like you also doesn't have. Your personal life will be destroyed.
