We take employee and customer feedback seriously at Counseling Shortcuts, but we also believe in transparency and fairness. The review above appears to be an attempt to maliciously defame our company with false accusations rather than provide constructive feedback. We encourage genuine criticism, but misleading statements that disrespect our team and misrepresent our values will not be tolerated. At Counseling Shortcuts, we: ✔ Offer competitive salaries & incentives aligned with industry standards ✔ Ensure ethical business practices with transparency for customers and employees ✔ Maintain strict policies to reward performance & accountability ✔ Provide a structured, professional work environment We welcome honest feedback from current and former employees to help us grow, but we do not support false allegations meant to damage our reputation. We encourage prospective employees to rely on authentic reviews and direct interactions with our team. For any genuine concerns or grievances, we urge individuals to reach out through official channels for resolution.

I enjoy the opportunity to interact with people from diverse backgrounds and help them with their questions and problems. Every day is different, and I appreciate the challenge of continuously learning and adapting to new situations. Unlike any other company, founders and senior management are very cooperative and have no as such hierarchy of juniors and seniors. The management system is not brutally stuck to the hierarchy system, they welcome suggestions with open arms. They truly are towards a education led-management system that follows the no-barrier rule....Read More
While I enjoy the majority of my responsibilities. I would say that the occasional technical glitches or limitations can be frustrating. However, I always strive to find alternative solutions or workarounds to minimize any disruptions in the service I provide.

Salary on time Good colleagues to work with Senior management is supportive and active
Even after working day and night as per their business requirements. Managers provide no support to you. They are just becoming another Byju's who will hire you, make your life difficult and then make you work rigourously. They have normalized a culture of 9am - 6 pm now which was 10 am - 7 pm earlier. You have to report to office at 9 sharp but have no time to leave. You cannot leave office without permission of your TL and Cluster manager. Your data can be pulled out anytime and given AGM'S favourite TL and Counselor. You do work hard on your data but if you are on leave on any day, the TL, AGM and Cluster Manager will pull your data to assign to their favourite people on floor and then they will blame you for not getting sales. Their work policy can change anytime and they will bluntly say on your face to resign if you are not aligned. The TLs only insult you on the name of work if you cannot produce sales. you go to office daily but if you forget to work on the fresh leads by the end of the day they get pulled out. Who is working according to TL only they get good leads....Read More

At Counseling Shortcuts, we appreciate feedback and understand that a fast-paced, performance-driven environment may not be suitable for everyone. Salary is always on time, and we value teamwork & strong leadership. Senior management is actively involved in employee growth & support. However, we firmly disagree with misleading claims about unfair treatment. Performance expectations are clearly communicated, and policies are designed to ensure fairness and accountability. Lead allocation and work assignments are data-driven, not based on favoritism. We maintain strict but transparent policies, and any concerns should be raised through official channels. We encourage a growth-oriented mindset and a culture of accountability.

It's a scam company
I applied with high hopes, only to be met with a series of outrageous red flags. Instead of dealing with a reputable company, I found myself communicating with Counselling Shortcuts and Selection Wala—how is that even acceptable? The interview was a joke! Yogita Jain (HR) conducted it entirely in Hindi, which felt incredibly unprofessional for a corporate setting. I received an offer letter that looked legit at first glance, but it was all smoke and mirrors—no real salary, no real tasks. They had the audacity to assign us cold-calling parents, pushing us to invade their privacy without any explanation of how they obtained those numbers. This is not just unethical; it's downright exploitative! And let’s not forget the nonexistent office address they provided. After a month of this ridiculousness, *Anubhav Sharma/Pranav Sharma* (the so-called manager) vanished completely, blocking all communication as if we never existed. I cannot stress this enough:STAY AWAY from CG Advantage, Counselling Shortcuts, and Selection Wala! They are nothing but a scam looking to exploit unsuspecting interns. Don't make the same mistake I did!...Read More

no place for time passers. if anyone think that they will sit and pass time don't apply here. culture is just like byjus because of some middle management persons. difficult for entry level position associates to cope up in this setup and compete with other teams. Senior management would need to think of entry level associate performance evaluations where its in HR, BD Sales, Marketing or any other. HRM Yogita are busy and always try to finding thiings to terminate. she always ask i'm in meeting or any other thing and say sit in lobby I'll catch you up. for everything you need mail and document after that they will address and listen. she don't listen any verbal communication...Read More

Great experience & growth opportunities - I have been working at counseling shortcuts in the operations support team for the past 2 years and my experience has been very positive. There are great learning and career growth opportunities here, but it requires focus and determination to succeed. If you stay on track and focus on your goals, growth here is very easy.
if you are lazy or take work lightly for granted, the fast paced environment can be challenging. Overall a great place to work for those serious about their career.
