Pay & Rewards, and to some extent promotions. Other than that, there is nothing to like. If you are seeing any positive and praising reviews, chances are high that those reviews could be fake.

HIGHLY TOXIC WORK CULTURE. Tax Controversy Sevices team is managed by Deann Gorce - from US and Durga Sindhuja (Sr. Manager), Virinchi Dinni(Sr. Asso. Manager), and Lokesh Peddi (Sr Asso. Manager) from India. These four people ensured the most toxic work culture prevailed in the team. How they ensured and maintained this toxic work culture? Answer is by citing CORE VALUES of the company. These people used and manipulated the original CORE VALUES according to their will. For example, there is a core value - 'active not passive' - which according to these 4 people is ACTIVE POLITICS. These 4 people had their CHAMCHAS who will report to Virinchi and Sindhu on every informal talks in other words..."nobody gives a damn about these talks"...One such CHAMCHA is Sonali Gogna. This Sonali Gogna is so under confident and incapable person who is now handling a team. and whenever something happened in the team or someone differs from her opinions ( which is a common thing given her team members are more experienced and skilled than her). She will directly go to Sindhu and Virinchi and these 2 people comes to her rescue. She will ask for concerns and feedback from her team and if someone raises a concern and give her feedback, She will term them as rude and resistant to suggestions. All the concerns or issues raised by the team will not be taken constructively rather that feedback will be taken personally and he/She come under Sonali Gogna radar. From now on She will escalate every trivial thing to higher management and when some one says something or gives suggestion She will say first you work on your feedback and issues then give suggestions. As I earlier said Sonali Gogna is so incompetent and how could she be doing such things? Answer is simple she CHAMCHA of Vrinchi and Sindhu. In other words she is a SPY for Virinchi and Sindhu. She goes to each and every person in the team and learns about what is going on with the other person or team members and informs the same to Virinchi and Sindhu. I can cite many instances where she turned tables on her team members in other words, she back stabbed her team members. Now let's talk about efficiency of Sindhu Virinchi Lokesh team management. There is something called as "billing hours", which is used to track the time spent by a resource on the clients. Everyday one must upload these billing details into 'alliant360'. From allinat360 higher management will pull the data and figure out each resource data or working hours. Now come the TOXIC part. To increase Sindhu Virinchi Lokesh visibility they created a TEAM BILLING tracker to efficiently manage the team billing hours. So they spent considerable about of time in making these trackers. Ultimately, each resource has to fill his/her billing details in alliant360, entire team billing tracker, sub-team tracker and also send weekly updates on billing. In the name of efficiency they created 3 different things to know only one thing which is a resource billing hours. Despite all these so called " efficient billing trackers", there will be many billing discrepancies in the final billing hours and each resource has to check them again and again to ensure accurate time is uploaded into the system. Now why this happened is that Sr. Manager Durga Sindhu came from a low background with very little non-relevant experience and no professional work experience. With some buttering and flattery she became manager. She is a perfect example of "empty vessels make much noise". Her lack of knowledge comes from a fact that she had to take an exam along with few other folks and for that these 4 people made a preparation plan including prep. Sessions and mock tests. I saw one of her mock test it was Full of blunders she doesn't even know the basic answers for some basic questions like Tax Form Numbers which are daily used in our work. Finally somehow she didn't take the exam knowing the fact the she would definitely fail. Infact, Lokesh failed diagnostic exam yet he was given a team to manage and after few months he got promotion. Virinchi Dinni always asks for concerns and if some asks for a genuine resolution he tortures them or pressurises them to an extent that they either quit or terminated. Because Virinchi see them as a threat to his growth in the company. Infact, virinchi initial team didn't last longer that three quarters. Virinchi was helping and elevating only one person and leaving the rest. So his team members took this issue to the higher management. At that time Virinchi pressurized 2 of his teammates and 1 was forced to quit and the other was terminated. Lokesh was one of his team member who later got a team to manage. In the name of feedback they will torture you. They say they received feedback from many people when asked to show them they will not show it because there are no negative feedback emails. Sindhu Virinchi And Lokesh speak of their highly "transparent" leadership...LOL...these three people will sit in a meeting room for hours together and discuss about each resource and the information they got from their spies. When asked they will say you will know about it soon. These unprofessional managers want the team to be transparent but they will not be transparent. It's a shame to call it as leadership...infact these are inexperienced, unprofessional, and arrogant BOSSES. Lastly, you wouldn't want to work here expect for money. There is no job security (if you are a CHAMCHA of Sindhu Virinchi & Lokesh...like Sonali Gogna and others) then you life is set here. CHAMCHA will get perks like good reputation, good support, good promotions and like wise. The work culture is highly TOXIC. Genuine concerns are sidelined by politics. Now Sindhu Virinchi Lokesh are targeting people with experience and forcing them to quit and hiring freshers or people with lesser experience than them. So that Brain washing becomes easy. Also, Deann Sindhu Virinchi Lokesh created an environment of "unhealthy competition", when raised about this issue with the higher management that resource will be seen as a threat to their promotion and targeted and terminated. Deann says that she values her team very much. Infact, she doesn't care about her team. Deann only cares about her Minions. Deann is the master politician of Tax Controversy Services team. Deann and Sindhu want to hear "what they want to hear and try to make us speak what they want to hear"....Read More

Very very poor management leading to suffering of all the lower level staff. The office is on UT & 1st floor otherwise people would start jumping from the windows if it was any higher. Previous the floor was good. But ever since the BS ERC manager are utting their head into R&D (without knowing the intricacies of the trade) the lifeon floor has become hell. 90% of the people are searching for better job company is going to collapse soon...Read More
