Bad rating policy. Old employees get a bigger chunk of bonus. Irrational appraisal process. Quarterly good feedbacks do not apply when there's appraisal. Engineering teams have good leadership but not the other teams.

There is nothing to like in this company. They give you free food thats the only positive thing.

Dislikes

Everything is to be disliked. 1- Politics at top level. Company only values some employees, others are taken for granted. 2- Promotion are given to manager favourites. 3 - Leaves are less. They brag about unlimited sick leave policy. If you take sick leave they will write the same in yo ur review that you took sick leaves. 4- Work is done by only juniors. Manager and above are just doing micromanagement and they will never let you live peacefully. 5- Working on weekends is pushed by directors. 14 hour work day is normal. 6- HR's are spineless. They will not do anything. They are there to play rangoli competition. Only your director will decide your fate. 7- Favoritism is there and you will be made a scapegoat if you are not management's favourite no matter how much you work. Nothing is good in this company. Their good image in public is fake PR. Not recommended...Read More

Dislikes

The company is chaotic, with managers focusing on profits while micromanaging and catering to their directors/reportees. They show little regard for their subordinates, including HR business partners, who avoid addressing issues and instead engage in office politics to protect higher-ups to seek their support, fooling country head an d make you a scapegoat atlast. Promotions are based on favoritism rather than talent/work or effort; only those who play along will be recognized. Many so-called senior employees merely flatter their directors/managers to survive. This is a political environment that is not conducive to honest work or integrity. This toxic culture stifles genuine talent and innovation, forcing employees to conform to a system that rewards sycophancy over skill. Creativity is crushed under the weight of bureaucratic nonsense, where real ideas are dismissed as threats to the status quo. Those who dare to challenge the existing order often find themselves ostracized, leading to a high turnover of passionate individuals, leaving behind a workforce that’s afraid to speak up or take risks<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Meetings are nothing more than a performance where the real decisions are made behind closed doors by their AD, managers only, leaving the rest of us to play a role in a scripted narrative</mark>. We sit through endless discussions that lead nowhere, while the real issues fester unaddressed. Any attempts at transparency are quickly silenced, as the upper management prioritizes preserving their fragile egos over fostering an environment of trust or accountability. The lack of genuine leadership is glaring; instead of guiding and mentoring, they play a game of survival, where loyalty to the hierarchy matters more than actual leadership skills. In this environment, it’s not uncommon for hard work to be overshadowed by mere appearances, and individuals who contribute significantly often find themselves overlooked/victimized. As a result, morale is low, and the spirit of collaboration dwindles. Employees become disillusioned, realizing that their efforts are irrelevant in a game dictated by manipulation and favoritism. This cycle perpetuates a culture of disengagement, where potential is squandered, and the company is left limping forward, held back by its own self-imposed limitations. It’s a sad state of affairs that disheartens anyone genuinely invested in the company’s success....Read More
