Nothing. Just pays timely.
Dislikes
The production head, Kiran’s performance and management style is questionable. It has become increasingly evident that she operates as a family leader than as a corporate professional, creating a work environment that prioritizes personal relationships over merit.
Her inefficiency is compounded by her tendency to shield those who are close to her, such as her work-daughter,Ruchika(embroidery-sampling-head) and her work-son,Nasir(embroidery head).
The Family-centric approach has led to a lack of accountability and transparency, ultimately affecting overall productivity. Rather than fostering a culture of professionalism, she seems more focused on promoting individuals based on personal connections, rather than actual performance.
Her attempts to highlight certain team members to the management through exaggerated praise and pseudo-qualities are concerning. This not only undermines true talents but also skews the perception and performance of the team.
The environment has become where favouritism prevails, and those who choose to flatter her or become her family members, find their needs’ met.
This dynamic is detrimental for anyone who is not willing to participate in her family-business....Read More

Lots of projects and costly paints and painting materials are there. It makes work satisfying.
Dislikes
employee appraisal plans not available . Uncertain increments. Horrible hr.
Never lets us speak. Always politics with production head. Favours some people. Retains unskilled candidates and kicks out people who speaks up.
Remote location even medicine stores not there. Too much politics.
This company is very bad. There is no clear rule for salary increase. Only people who is friendly with the production head get salary hike easily. If you don’t please her, you will never get a raise. They don’t care about your work or experience. Always politics and favouritism.Some people pretend to resign just to get a salary hikeand more than one time. If you say the right things to the production head and associates you will be promoted easily.
Don’t join this company. It will ruin your career....Read More

In painting production, working place is no doubt beautiful, previously working culture and atmosphere was quite fine ,but day by day it decreases. First of all working time ,is very short, you haven't much time to work freely, if you go to bathroom team leaders ask why are you so late !!!Always have mental pressure. You cannot carry mobile except break time .Overtime duty occur. If anyone deny to work in ot ,company management, team leaders force him/her to work on it not directly but also in behaviour they try to make you understood that you have to do Ot otherwise you are very guilty.
Have no any promotion system, and salary increment system. Very remote location no any medical store ,food court . Lunch provided by office but if you long time intake the food surely you have to suffer from stomach problems. And besic need drinking water , office provided barrell water but dirty and so many times many people suffer from health issues related to drinking water . And transport problem, after 7.30 pm bus availablelity shortage. And after 9 pm no any bus available.
Many more issues can't elaborate....Read More

Some very good people working here.
Dislikes
Remote location. Overcrowded busses and travel facilities are only provided to a few favoured teams.
Biased management. Excessive work politics.
Engaging with management is challenging; conversations feel public, discouraging open and honest dialogue.
No regular increment plan, leaving employees uncertain about the financial growthand career advancement. Company doesn’t even cover half of PPF.
Food availability is very bad.
The company has significant issues that affects employees satisfaction and well-being. If you value fair, supportive work-environment, it’s best to consider other options....Read More

Dislikes
I have worked in this organisation for quite some time now. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by unethical practices and blatant favouritism. It is surprising to see that this organisation does not adhere to basic professional standards, such as the policy against family members working in the same team.
For instance, the vector artists’ lead and his wife is working in the same department, which raises serious concerns about bias and professionalism.
Moreover, one of the HR executives is having a relationship with one of the members of the QD-EDD team, the director engaging in an extramarital affair with one of the sampling-artist, and the embroidery production lead is having a handsome number of family members in his team .
It is troubling to witness such behaviour going unchecked, specially when it directly affects the team dynamics and morale. These practices creates an unfair environment for other members of the teams.
What’s particularly troubling is that if anyone attempts to speak out against these practices, they are often targeted, facing retaliation that can lead to their dismissal. Even if some of the issues are addressed, new issues continue to emerge and remain unchecked.
All these unchecked practices creates mental pressure and fear on others, and makes it a very toxic environment to be in. Crossing any of the favoured individuals will result in significant backlash from their protective-heads....Read More

UK based operations.
Dislikes
UK based, so seemed to be better. But ONLY SEEMED. Its horrible! Specially its Indian management. The Hr is a sweet talker and the production head is just in for benefits.
Such a remote location, and office doesn’t provide transportation facilities.
People are just into politics. The admin person is jack of all trades and is horrible at all the trades. Very inefficient, yet retains his job.
They hire people with no initial knowledge (of the work they are hired for) and attempts to train them from the basics, that degrades the efficiency of the work.
Safety is a concern, no medicines stores available, no food stores available nearby, canteen food is not edible. cost-cutting everywhere, but heads of some teams are provided food from local restaurants.
Some team leads gets many benefits, financial and non financial depending on the rapport they share with the local management heads....Read More

Innovative jobs in a remote location like Domjur, Howrah.
Dislikes
Don’t ever join this organisation!
The HR recruits for one post and then appoints you in some other post, which is alien to you and then those team freaks are uncooperative in teaching you the process. They just wait for you to make mistakes, so that they can create an issue out of it.
One can only survive here, if one butters people like Nasir Mondol, the head of embroidery production and his immediate subordinates, and the production head, Kiran.
Kiran won't hear any objections against Nasir, or about Ruchika, who is the embroidery sampling head.
And even after repeated complains to the HR, Moumita Halder, regarding the bullying and harassment going on, no solution is provided. And then she will be furious when you leave abruptly. That is the only time she is concerned about “company protocols “.
Literally developed depression while working here. Unnecessary politics and pressure. The worst place to work if you are not the “sweet talking kind”....Read More
