Action for the workplace requirements are quick with good LAN connections.

Dislikes

Workliife balance is not good as we have to concentrate more on working. Finding leisure time is difficult (based on the project you are in). Also appraisals are not good and not based on how you work. Purely luck based. Rating change is not that easy. However you work, they will promote you when they needed to do....Read More

The facilities, leave policies and the work culture is great in my Account.

Dislikes

For employees who are not tagged to the department for which they actually work for, then the Appraisal process is complex and the expectation is very high. Especially the DE EE Content Services Platform department is the worst in providing recognition and good hike to deserving candidates....Read More

This is my first company. Everything is satisfactory like Benefits, work culture and I feel it depends on the project that how our work-life balance, work environment involves in every company. I got the best ever team and manager they were all good.

Dislikes

They release from the project with some reasons and keep the existing employees on bench or ask to resign then they recruit new people. And work hours had been changed from 9 hours to 10 hours which is hectic for employees. And how much ever we work we don't get proper appraisal for the work we do</mark>....Read More

Everything wishy washy is available here, Mentor program, learning with best LMS portal and one of the best online learning portal courses available. Mostly it will be great for the technical aspect and Quality management. DEI is given utmost importance, corporate volunteering service via outreach will help you get recognition, meetnew folks of your interest like planting trees, coastal cleanup and other community works....Read More

Dislikes

Everything what they claim was not up to the mark especially during corona period. Seemingly, anyone who has low caliber in language skills can certainly be there as it has become a trend to speak can't able to in all levels of operations including the training department. There are enormous number of course available however the structure of the learning and development sucks, they get accolades of making course available where the skill transformation is absolute zero. It's a namesake trend everything said and done are two different things. There were multiple projects which got ramped down back-to-back years. The so-called appraisal is absolutely worthless. If you just want to hang on because you need your survival, go ahead and join this place it's a wonderful place for those who doesn't seek a constant growth. Appraisal process is really funny. Many a times, communication, language is the root cause of all trouble. Effective communication is seen even on the ops head. If you are lucky, you would get a great mentor who can help you swim through the dirty politics with constant nudge in shaping your career. Leadership qualities sucks in all levels majorly<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. The less you work and show an exaggeration, you sure to head towards promotion</mark>. From all the project that I had worked, it did not give me a great wonderful experience as I had to struggle through the politics for promotion. People on the top management has zero leadership skills, negotiation, conflict management skills. Doesn't matter if it's male or female boss. I was lucky enough to have Indian male and female managers wonderful who were team driven but it was not the same case with all projects. Work life balance is a myth as no one will share what is required, they would give high command and expect you to work on fine way and try to get all that is not good even for presentations. The job requirement will not be clearly shared, namesake documents will be available but never be shared to the associate. HR is not even existing unless you be a part of work force management- Bench. Talent management team will never help you get new process, God knows what job they are even doing. My overall 11.5 yr exp, it was not a great growth. learning yes, every failure is lesson learnt....Read More

It depends on the team so you can not say just based on your experience whether work culture is good or bad. Overall it's not that bad to not consider altogether.

Dislikes

The freshers joining after college are getting better pay than me, poor increment and long promotion time. No extra benefits.
