BYJU'S Academic Specialist Reviews

Honestly nothing. The company has zero ethics.

Dislikes

The toxic work culture of BYJU'S is something everyone knows! Along with that they lay off employees without paying their salaries. And never respond to employees regarding payrolls

Lots of fake promises (read as fraudulent activities) to us e.g. 1. they hired us on package of 6 LPA. later they paid throughout as per 4 LPA. remaining 2 LPA remained unanswered for few months. after continuous enquiry, they played smartly by saying that 2 LPA is variable pay which totally depends on performance and parameter was pathetic (illogical) so that no one can achieve. they said that no one can get 5/5 as best part yet to come. so most of better performance fall under rating of 3-4 as 5 never considered. pure cheating. 2. they removed all perks and incentives as per their new innovative revolutionary policy modification. that means only salary, no more variable pay. obviously that 2 LPA gone permanently as per their new policy. Again fraudulent activity. 3. later they removed HRA, WFH, internet allowances. it means we are spending our electricity for no return. again violation of our basic salary rights. 4. as per their policy, after completion of 1 year, we were entitled for retention bonus of 75k. as we came closer to completion of 1 year, they amended the policy that bonus will be performance based. Simultaneously, they started firing those who were entitled for bonus and few days left to complete their tenure of 1 year. this saved their bonus. very pathetic strategy. afterwards, they became very stubborn by not providing any bonus to those who somehow managed to complete their 1 year term. personally I waited for next 9 months post 1 year term but didn't get. those from management team who promised the bonus, got terminated e.g. my senior manager. 4. appraisal was put on hold as a result, we remained on same salary structure throughout my term with byjus. same happened to everyone. 5. as per general policy, if company terminates any employee, they are bound to pay 2-3 months advance salaries. but here they terminated us without the current salary then advanced salary isvery far fetched thing. even after 5 months of leaving company, no one is bothering to pay my November's salary. 6. that was not the end, even they tricked us in FnF too. they generated FnF as negative for most of employees mentioning craps i.e. headset or other assets were worn out or not new (what they thought after using assets for more than a year, still assets would remain brand new). some got FnF as (-35000, -18000 etc). they were surprised by company's absurd style of treating. 7. Another point woth FnF. in general FnF happens within next 45 days. Also for some companies, they are offering in 3 days too as per revised policies. But in this company, it says 90 days would be for FnF. worst to this, even after 90 days, no result. in my case, they said that if i submit all assets on time then they will release my salary. I did by 8th of November 2023. still, they put my salary on hold and said it will come along my FnF (i.e. post 90 days). sadly, i waited for term to end, othing happend. I raised concern to them and they raised ticket for same. till date no one responded or contacted me for any updates. however, I have replied on provided ticket number regarding updates on my ticket. still unanswered till date. 8. Another trick, they suggested to move us (online tutors) to offline mode. but their intentions were not keeping us in company anymore to save their reimbursement of salaries. so, they offered unwanted locations to join. e.g. if a tutor is from Bihar, he/she was offered location in MP but not Bihar. At same time another tutor from MP was offered Bihar or other location except their hometown. their excuse were that no vacancy to respective place. Howcome is this possible? this shows that mistakenly we considered them from company men. Actually they are conmen. 9. during my PTMs, several parents were furious with byjus fake promises. one of parent (very poor) said that byjus kept calling (almost harassing) to take their package. finally they agreed for around 2k package. but salesmen manipulated and forcefully made them yto choose package of 10k. they took loan from bank for same. Also these counselors promised that student will get tablet, books and many more things. but once payment made, they swiched off their phones or replied rudely to not call back as their deal is over. Most of parents said Byjus a big thief who creates unnecesary fear for childs poor future and pretending them to be saviour forcing to pay higher bids for their packages. 10. its my personal experience. At that time, I was online maths tutor in Byjus. there is a place nearby my house i.e. G3S in rohini sec-11. its a rcreational hub so many people visit their for food stalls, movies, shopping etc. there is a byjus centre too and few sales agent roam there for their customers. thosewho visit their with kids. they talk to them and almost force them to take test at their centre to check calibre of kids. most of parents were pissed of by their behaviour. i was there with my neighbors kids for dining purpose. they came to me and asked to take test. I clearly informed that they were not my kids so i cant take such decisions. let the parent be the decision maker. still they followed us to our diner zone and kept forcing to take test for the sake of betterment of kids future. that is not all. one day i was there with my son, and as usual they approached us and asking to take test. I clearly mentioned that I am math tutor in byjus and i take care of my kids study. still illogically they said that in centre the kids future will be much secured. what an IQ level of sales representatives, they suggesting to hand over my kid to byjus tutor from me (who is also a byjus tutor along with a father). there are many such malpractices happening and list can be endless. so, ending this saga here itself as it will be enough to describe a cheater's company....Read More

No job security, payment looks good on papers but doesn't really reach the bank accounts. They'll pay half salary and issue statement for full salary. Epfo contribution will not be done. These people should be punished in a public forum.

Dislikes

amateur managers, policies keep changing, they'll hire more than needed, and Byju keeps sending some emails with unnecessary sob stories to fool employees about delaying salaries. If you join the company make sure to have a backup first
