salary, perks and benefits. good player in EdTech segment. competitive culture, lot of growth opportunities. very much performance and result driven company
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

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.

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.

It's ok to be honest. people change jobs to make more money. If I ever left my current job for another job, It would only be because the new employer offered me a substantially higher salary, or I moved too far away from my current job to make it worthwhile

I want to address a few concerns about Team Leader. She has no leadership qualities - Ms Ananya Ghosh no empathy, no clear communication, and no focus nad no focus on team goals. Instead she was always rude ans dismissive, making coments like," You are not capable of working here,, Tumlog log sach mai pata nahi kaha se aagye ho, Spoon feeding nahi hogi yaha etc etc This kind of attitude created a toxic envionment and made it very difficult to work....Read More

Started to work at CS on 23rd Dec, and haven't the salary once. If you are not able to generate sale, the BASIC SALARY is not provided, like forget about the incentive but the actual basic salary??? The company is scamming people for 2 years now. And at the end they will terminate you by saying that you didn't work properly, etc.

Employer’s Response
We take allegations like these very seriously and would like to clarify the facts. Counseling Shortcuts has always adhered to transparent employment policies, including clear salary structures and performance expectations outlined at the time of hiring. Salaries and incentives are based on agreed terms, and any delays or issues are always addressed through proper internal channels. If there were concerns regarding compensation, we encourage employees to raise them formally rather than making baseless public accusations. It's disappointing to see false statements aimed at misleading others and tarnishing our reputation. We remain committed to fair business practices and fostering a professional work environment for our team.
