Dislikes

1. Office politics. 2. Management, HR and admin teams are just for show, all they do is gossip whole day. 3. They use old technologies and you will have nothing to learn here in this organization. 4. They have a good security team but the person who is leading that team has zero knowledge about cyber security. 5. They have a senior VP who will not listen to any of your problems. 6. They can fire you anytime without any prior notice. 7. They don't give over time allowance. 8. The working desks are dirty and they don't even give holidays on events like mayday. 9. The qa manager doesn't have any knowledge and is incompetent to understand the simplest concepts. 10. If you have any kind of medical emergency at your home they won't even consider giving you wfh or sabbatical leave. 11. Minimum pay compared to other companies. 12. No team building activity and they will give you theats to fire you, if you don't do what they say. 13. Unqualified people climbing up the ladder because they have a good connection with top management people. 14. Washrooms are dirty, desks are not clean, coffee machines sometimes not working, you can't directly approach HR or VP you have to get to them through appointment first. 15. You can not even use mobile inside the office. They place restrictions on using mobile even if you are listening to songs while working. 16. This is not a professional environment, this is more like a college environment where professionalism goes out of the window from the moment you join. 17. If you are a intern or working in probation period then they will not give you confirmation and keep you hanging. WORST COMPANY IN KOLKATA JOIN AT YOUR OWN RISK....Read More

Dislikes

1) Workplace is a nightmare with very toxic management and unhealthy politics, nepotism. The whole office will know anything even if you scratch your head as management people here love to gossip and spread rumors causing mental torture. 2) Everybody has problems, and they exploit everyone to stop their growth without considering the positive value of employees. 3) use and throw mentality of unfit and worst qualified management treating people like trash 4) Lot of people just goes missing from company suddenly, nobody knows who is going to get fired next day as it depends on the mood of rusty and low mentality of management. 5) work pressure and stress is very high, mindless midnight meetings for no point is a regular thing here. 6) Their product and e-commerce site are an awful mess. Only unaware people buy this low quality and highly priced items which breaks a lot during the delivery process, so a lot of customer complains needs to be handled while dealing with a rotten and vicious boss. 7) Interns are hired by giving false motivation speeches and expected to work as seasoned professionals and they are given too much activities without proper guidance from manager 8) Putting in efforts is useless here as Talented hard-working employees' credit will be stolen so that manager can Favour and promote their buttering non deserving team members 9) Top management will monitor your every move and highlight every mistake every single minute you spend here, and you have to be always available in day and night even you are an intern, if you can't manage then they will find ways to use small things for big escalation against you and put you down as low as possible but they will ignore the positive things as per their convenience. 10) Be careful, Management can fire you on spot if you even try to discuss growth prospects or increment for your hard work. Join only if you want to be used, ridiculed and thrown away and expect nothing from this company other than just a steppingstone in your career....Read More

Dislikes

I) NO Job security as people can be fired casually anytime by most unfair and unfit management II) Pointless Meetings happening all time even at midnight III) Favoritism, office drama and politics is always happening IV) Juniors are guided vaguely and always used as scapegoat by seniors to take all blame and treated the worst way possible V) Top management monitors each and everything of employees and finds out their mistakes to point out later and ridicule them VI) No appreciation or growth for deserving and hardworking people instead their accomplishments are neglected ultimately stolen by favoured people. VII) Lot of interns are hired and fired in frequent manner and given huge amount of work responsibilities for cost cutting purposes. VIII) Single resource is supposed to do all the work is his domain to save precious money of management, like a developer supposed to work in development, testing, administration everything in low salary all day and night as micromanagement is present everywhere without caring about employees IX) Infrastructure is full of old codes which is very hard to navigate and fix and their products are very old and not up to the mark X) Managers are very rude using people like tools and management does a lot of unethical practices spreading negativity Join only if you are desperate for a job, wants to be taken advantage of and not getting any other opportunities at all....Read More

Dislikes

1) zero job security, employees are forced to resign secretly anytime without prior notice 2) awful management , full of boundaryless mind numbing politics here to deal with. 3) top management manipulates and use people by false speech and fake promises 4) management put their noses in people's personal life and they keep record of every single mistake employee makes in their list for eternity without considering their positive contributions so that they can fire them easily anytime or stop their growth by highlighting their past mistakes. 5) managers will not guide juniors properly and manipulate every report to push their favourites to the high , if you are not on of them then no matter how good you are, it's pointless. 6) people can work here consistently good for years but no increment or growth given here . 7) no work life balance and they try to replace people if they find a microscopic fault in them 8) they hire interns in bulk to get their labour's and work done in low investment so that they can throw them out later without much hassle. Even the lift does not work properly here...Read More
