No growth or skill development.Same rote work assigned continuously. 6. No communication by management. 7. No communication with team 8. Management doesn't communicate with the employee even about important topics that concern them. 9. Flexible work hours means flexibilty for the management to make you work any time....Read More

1. Managers think like they are Goddesses. 2. no work-life balance though they shout a lot regarding the same. 3. zero job security. 4. No appreciation for a fresher who tries hard to cope with tight timelines. 5. No second chance after informing one employee that you are fired. 6. Don't step into the trap of all the false and baseless promises they make at the ti e of onboarding.

Hi, Thank you for your sharing your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience at Cactus. Our Leadership group and HR team has been actively involved in implementing several new processes and systems which can reduce the workload of the team. To ensure work-life balance is maintained, we take into consideration Cactizens leave preferences and allow flexible hours of work. We also have an AI chatbot for Cactizens to give us real time feedback, where we invite Cactizens to candidly share their views and opinions and use these inputs to continuously improve employee experience. We ensure all employees are provided feedback by the trainer/manager during training period as well as on live tasks. Wherever an employee is unable to meet the expected quality benchmarks, we ensure an improvement plan is put in place with clear objectives and outcomes defined to support the employee to come up to speed with the expected quality benchmarks. If you have further questions or recommendations to improve the overall experience, please email us at aishwarya.apte@cactusglobal.com and she'd be happy to assist you.

A mediocre company operating with a flawed business model.
Dislikes
Upskilling opportunities are nonexistent, while politics among senior employees dominate. There are no perks or chances for promotion—just a culture of favoritism and monopoly by long-standing employees. It’s not a place to learn or grow, making it a complete waste of time.
