Alchemy Research & Analytics Manager Kolkata Reviews

Likes

Most of the old employees left Alchemy. Things were not going too well with the management. The good thing is company now has a office in Kolkata. But that is of no benefit to employees.

Dislikes

1) Training - No they don't have any training programs 2) Teammates - Average. Not very talented. People with skills already left the company and joined other big companies in research roles like Capgemini, PWC etc. Got better salary, work life balance. 3) Bonus - The management will give you 20-30% of your one month salary as bonusif your are the best resource. so if you make 25,000 as a senior analyst, your total bonus will be 25,000 for the year. But you get in hand only 2500 in hand, the rest will be kept with the company until next year. and if you leave the company, you will not get that amount. Just like they do it in a garage, they don't give the entire amount, or else the labors run away after taking the amount. 4) Politics - Extremely toxic. Durgapur office is very toxic. 5) Work culture - Very very poor. Its like working in a juice shop. You are treated like a labour/slave. 6) Not a good company for women. 7) Before joining ask the HR why the HR sends email late night, 1:30 am for eg. You will know what kind of a company you are signing up for. 8) No free transport, no childcare, no health insurance. No exit interviews. Very Hostile to people during the notice period. Not because of HR but because of management....Read More
