Likes

Company culture is good. Work life balance is peaceful. Benefits are satisfactory.

Dislikes

They push you to do and learn to work on complex things slowly which can also come under pros but some employees might find it stressful and paranoid. Appraisals can end up disappointing you at times though you have achieved all the goals for that particular year.

Contract employee only perks are the salary

Dislikes

Contract employee major parts are the dislikes lets start from basics as to promotions and appraisals, then the most effecting thing are the leaves which overall for the whole year or your contract period is only given 12, no mater your emergency situations or in your family someone's death ha ppens they clearly do not care as they will put LOP if the 12 leaves are over</mark>. Even if people are sick you're supposed to join. Now another important part recently a covid case was reported but all the permanent employee get to leave and staff sanitized all the surrounding areas but all contracts employees were seated some didnt even get to know what had happened and why everyone left other than them. So no care of their health. They dont have any option to wfh or no hybrid as well. Next if you're an outsider from non tamil speaking background, you'll get into manu discussions some might be imp related to work as well but the people will somehow forget that you're there and keep speaking in Tamil untill you ask them to repeat in hindi then they'll histate and leave imp things and just repeat it simply leaving all main points somehow which will later be called out by seniors that you havent done, Now next the night allowance is only rs 50 for a day ,not hourly rates just overall its 50rs , then No Overtime pay but they'll say they might give a comp off , some people get it some dont. Third party payroll HR from Adecco or Manpower are of no use almost they are just there to take care that you dont take leaves more than given and add LOPs , sometimes even if you take more than 2 leaves in a month rest get counted as LOP as per their policy, Now because you being a third party employee, you are excluded from many important things in your projects and you'll feel left out even on floor parties going on. Eg: some parties would go on the floors but only blue tag employees would get access to those parts or just simply for picking snacks only blue tags are allowed, green/third party employee would be shooed out by the managing staffs....Read More

At first I was very excited about the work and team Appreciation and encouragement given by seniors and peers to work as team Good team bonding activity (mostly volunteered by team not company) Recognition of work and better work opportunity Boost to self improvement and eleraning opportunities

Dislikes

No work life balance (mostly post COVID during wfh arrangements) Work pressure which burdens individual Appreciation is given to team whereas critics are directed to individual to the point of demotivation in team meetings No confidentiality as one on one discussions are shared among the managers (resulting in losing trust) Salary an d perks are below standard <mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;"> Subtle politics and favourism while considering for hike/promotion</mark> ** These factors defers based on the project and team. Not everyone goes through same experience but my peers and seniors working along with me during my tenure had similar experiences...Read More
