I like how they try to be cool but aren't.

Dislikes

Firstly you will like the environment & you will survive if you don't speak up. There no corporate culture here, its like a close friends running the whole business. One thing about the company is ANY THING CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME. Be ready to get laid off, be ready to see your junior becoming your senior. They all listen to you but then you will be targeted. NO BONUS, I mean 5% increament? Are u serious? And the FAVOURITISM, OMG its in the DNA here everybody who is important is a known of other important person. There no criteria of hard work only CONTACTS work here. People who really wants a change are replaced East India co. as we call it. They don't give bonus/ increment to employees but replace them with someone new with a hike. People just leave this organisation in 6 to 1 year max. And if they stay more than that they'll surely leave after the increment. Advice to Management: Stop hiring referral of leads, managers or colleagues from previous organisation....Read More

1) The monthly salary is way too little. Get ready to be underpaid if you want to work here. 2) Office is full of politics. Get ready to deal with lot of office politics. 3) No job security. You could be terminated without any genuine reason of yours. 4) Your line manager will force you to report for office everyday. There is no concept of hybrid work here.

Small perks and treats like choclate brownie, sweets, snack party, popcorn.

Dislikes

Toxic culture, unapproachable management, no logics from managers, unstructured portfolios. Lack of automation within the process. Your opinion and suggestions doesn't matter. No security of job. Unplanned lay offs. You get paid for working in two or multiple roles in one roles salary. No open forum to have complaints or resolutions. No refrral system works out even if you send 50 referrals.

There's nothing impressive about this company. The fact some reviews highlight timely salary payments as a positive is overrated. A punctual paycheck is just a basic expectation and doesn't compensate for the company's overall shortcoming

Dislikes

"Blenheim Chalcot is the undesirable offspring of a modern exploitative company and the East India Company, merging today's greed with old-world exploitation" Here's a critical take on the Company: - They'll hire you with a title like "Junior Data Scientist" but then pile on task that have nothing to do with your actual job description. - Channeling the spirit of the old East India Company, a select few exploit their colleagues, and if you voice concerns to management about you work scope, their response is dismissive, suggesting you leave because this the only work they have. - They hire data science leads who are shockingly inexperienced and fundamentally clueless about requirement gathering and problem-solving. Yet, when a junior question their flawed ideas or points out their inadequacies, these leads erupt in a dramatic display of wounded pride and ego. - Complaints made through skip-level meetings achieve little, as the company is content to tolerate problematic managers/leads as long as their goals are met. Employee may even face threats of poor reviews if they try to switch portfolios, ai it could reflect poorly on the leads themselves. - HR is unlikely to offer genuine support: expect either empty promises or outright disregard. Many competent HR staff have been pushed out due to internal politics. - The company might pressure you into "voluntary resignation" under the pretense of performance issues. One week, you might be lauded as the star performer, only to be dismissed the next week, no job security even if you are a dedicated employee. - Salary increases and/or promotion seem to reward sycophancy rather than actual performance. If you excel at flattery, you might secure a better raise, job security, work from home, regardless of your actual work contributions. - Despite investing in new offices spaces, the current office is poorly equipped, with cramped canteen where employees must wait for a spot at long tables with uncomfortable stools I joined this company to make a career switch, only to find myself starting from scratch with no meaningful experience as a Data Scientist. This is my experience; it's up to you whether you take it into account...Read More

Dislikes

Management is pathetic and are very inefficient. Always spend time in strategy planning without any outcomes. Incompetent people have been hired and promoted to Head of Departments and are not deserving for the designation they have been hired. They call themselves as Venture Builder but most of the policies are those of a BPO. Dont have bench policy hence no Job secuirty.

Initially it was good to work with team on projects and RnD was independent which helped in actual learning

Dislikes

Currently the manager are not that much technically sound and only conducts meeting. Person who has good connection with management is safe even if he has 0 technical knowledge. There is no job security as you can be layed of anytime Advice for management: Please lay off some senior as they donnot contribute to any proper management and tech and only join meeting showing they are working hard , but actually they are not. Laying off a person who really have good understanding of projects and work makes no sense....Read More

Good Life Work balance, Salary is decent

Dislikes

Management 0/5 Culture... huh, no such entity exists, What else? Favouritism, Superb office politics, Don't know for what role they are hiring, ie. pilot hired for cabin crew's job. Job security: anytime you could get a HR call for a quick meeting, they could be your last 30 mins in the office. Nearly impossible to say why you are getting fired.

Dislikes

There is nothing to like. It is a toxic, fraudulent, sad place to work for. They hire 'product managers' and make them do project management, analysis etc kind of work which is irrelevant to skills. there is no onboarding process. They don't explain expectations, roles, responsibilities etc. They don't even do goal setting. They will say you don't meet expectations without setting expectations - beware. You will have zero job security here. Good, smart, hard-working people have been fired by inexperienced, stupid managers. Ask the head of the department basic subject-related questions - you will see what they bring to the table (nothing). Your salary will be below the market rate. Bosses - managers & senior management have no idea what they are doing - so many wrong decisions by seniors, and juniors have to pay the price. The seniors, at least for the product team, never take responsibility and the team suffers. Some favourite employees misbehave with females, and the management does not take any action. Some people are allowed to work from home indefinitely while others must come to the office even during emergencies and illnesses. If you are not a bootlicker, you will suffer here. UK counterparts can enjoy long holidays without disturbance. But Indians must be available during leave, holidays, and weekends - East India Company left and Blenheim Chalcot took its place. Beware - well-qualified people from elite institutes (tier 1 B schools) were lured by this company - 90% of them declined the offer. I wonder why. There is a basic infrastructure shortage - no chairs, no pantry to sit and eat in peace. You ask for a chair and they lash out at you as if it's your fault there is no chair. It's fun though, a game of musical chairs every day. HR is useless and will definitely throw you under the bus. If you are thinking of joining - check the LinkedIn profiles of all senior management folks. See the quality of your peers....Read More
