RTO Hybrid Model (for now)

Dislikes

Not getting hikes, increments. Not recognizing hardwork we did. No claims for medical emergencies as there is lot if rules for everything. No work life balance Need to work officially 10hr and unofficially 14hr, lots of work pressure. No cab facility. No additional benefits like not giving office bag to carry office laptop and not giving required accessories like headset, mouse, etc. CTS is my first company and these are all my personal worst experiences....Read More

Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Liked the policies that is shown publicly or that a employee will feel initially but later when employees faces problems there is no guidelines and proper accountability.

The internal policies and politics are very bad. The managers are too arrogant. There is no way the employee can provide appraisal to the managers. There should be a appraisal process for Managers from employees as some companies are having.
