Imagine you see that one community people are been favored and just incase you are not from that community and because of which you don’t get better work. You get small petty work and your colleagues with different cast tend to get better exposure every time and in every project. Few years down the line you will question that why he/she is getting more salary than me when infact we are from same firm</mark>. Imagine happening this to you everyday. Everyday some one else will be chosen not because they are better, just because they are born in a particular cast....Read More

Joining this firm in your dreams? Beware, people are experiencing workplace dreams working even in their sleep. Think twice before stepping into this relentless work culture.

Dislikes

1. **Extended Hours:** Strict reporting until 7:30, with an expectation to stay till 8:30, impacting work-life balance. 2. **Dinner Dilemma:** Despite the firm's policy allowing dinner orders after 8, only street food is provided, creating dissatisfaction among employees. 3. **Management Mentality:** A concerning lack of empathy, exemplified by denying decent dinner options based on subjective judgments about an employee's work. 4. **Inconsistent Policies:** Discrepancy between the stated 7:30 policy and the observed culture, with employees often required to stay till 8:30. 5. **Ineffective Bonds:** The 15-month bond policy intended to retain employees proves ineffective, as qualified CAs are leaving within six months due to dissatisfaction. 6. **Managerial Support:** Instances of a manager being scolded without any support from higher-ups, raising questions about managerial advocacy for their teams. 7<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. **Comparative Discontent:** Despite a high workload, the firm lags in compensation and gratitude compared to industry standards, contributing to employee frustration</mark>. 8. **Leave Denial:** Reports of employees being denied sick leave while managers take time off, creating an inconsistent approach to employee well-being....Read More

The management is disorganized and unprofessional. The manager seems more interested in harassing employees than actually managing the business. You will be micromanaged to an absurd degree, with the manager constantly hovering over your shoulder and yelling at you for no good reason. Favorites pass time of manger is to do arrrryeeee yaaar kittna huaaaa They also require employees to sign a bond that forces you to stay for a set period of time, even if the work environment is toxic<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. But don't expect fair pay even if you are stuck there the compensation is not at all commensurate with the amount of abuse you will endure</mark>. Feedback Overall, it is clear this company has no respect for its workers and only cares about exploiting them. Save yourself the hassle and look for opportunities elsewhere with employers who will treat you with basic human decency. One star is too generous a rating for such a poorly run operation...Read More

1. As per my knowledge The quality of work is not good. Quality of work of Statutory audit & forensic audit is bad. There is no proper allocation of work. 2. Work life balance is not good. Mostly, you have to work for all Saturday's. Overtime working is quite normal in firm. 3. Stipend/salary is less as compared to the efforts & time you had given</mark>. 4. The work culture is not good....Read More

Following things you will learn or experience in the organization: 1. How to give away your credit to the manger 2. How not to expect anything from the Manager/partner and keep on working till you break you backbone 3. Everyone tend to say that ARTICLESHIP is the most difficult phase of every CA’s phase and this firm is making that phrase true in every aspect 4. How not to expect better or good quality of work if you are from not a favouring state or caste. 5. How to your life minimalist way a<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Too less salary b</mark>. Too less sleep on a regular basis c. Too less holidays d. Too less and street food 6. We also learned how to spoil our relationship with our family even if we are frustrated from the work on regular basis 7. We learnt how to attend meeting at 8 AM in the morning and at 10 PM at night because everyone is busy during the office hours 8. We learnt how not to complain and keep our mouth shut for every wrong doing we experienced on oneself or observe happening on other 9. We learnt how to loose humanity touch on laughing others who were unable to sustain this thrilling experience and left the organization 10. We learnt how to bully employees who talk about work life balance 11. We learnt how to tease articles who tend to leave office by 6 or 6.30 to attend class or to prepare for the CA Final exam 12. We learnt to gossip and laugh about colleagues unable to give exam due to lack of preparation 13. We learnt how not to have a life after office hours. 14. We learnt how not to get humanly attached to one another as a colleague 15. We learnt how not to raise voice for the wrong doing of the manager or partner. 16. We learnt how to fail our ancestors by not raising any voice to help week people and we learned to laugh over them. I AM GRATFUL THAT I GOT TO LEARN ALL THIS IN ONE FIRM...Read More

**Pipara & Co.: A Grim Reality Behind the Glossy Facade** Pipara & Co. might paint a picture of thrilling forensic audits and rapid career growth, but step inside and brace yourself for a starkly different reality. This review, based on my firsthand experience, aims to peel back the glossy facade and expose the red flags potential employees should be aware of. **Forensic Fizzle:** Forget sharpening your detective skills in the world of forensic audits. My time at Pipara was one endless data collection and reconciliation after another. The promised exposure to exciting investigations never materialized, leaving me feeling professionally stagnant and misled. **Burnout Boulevard:** Prepare for long hours that bleed into weekends, with deadlines dangling like Damocles' sword over your head. The relentless pressure and lack of work-life balance create a toxic environment where exhaustion and resentment become your constant companions. **Paycheck Purgatory:** Pipara's compensation is a slap in the face compared to industry standards. We toiled away for peanuts while watching peers at other firms enjoy the financial fruits of their labor. This glaring pay gap breeds frustration and a sense of being undervalued. **Culture Canyon:** The work environment is a strange mix of camaraderie and backstabbing. While colleagues seem close-knit on the surface, beneath it lurks a culture of insecurity and competition. Favoritism and nepotism seem to dictate promotions and opportunities, leaving qualified individuals sidelined for those in the "inner circle." **Broken Promises:** Pipara is adept at painting a rosy picture during recruitment. They dangle growth, skill development, and a dynamic work environment like shiny carrots, but the reality is far bleaker. My experience was marked by disappointment, frustration, and a constant feeling of being deceived. **Shackled and Shortchanged:** To add insult to injury, Pipara traps employees in a 15-month bond with a draconian 3-month notice period<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. During this notice period, your already meager salary gets slashed in half, essentially penalizing you for seeking better opportunities</mark>. This exploitative policy restricts your professional mobility and adds financial burden to the already demoralizing experience. **Double Standards on the Pitch:** While nepotism runs rampant, accountability is a foreign concept, especially for managers. Witnessing senior colleagues brazenly take days off for cricket matches, only to penalize us for genuine sick leave, was a daily dose of demoralization and anger. This blatant hypocrisy exposes the lack of respect for employees and the company's true priorities. **Bogus Busywork Blockade:** To keep you chained to specific projects, managers often resort to assigning meaningless tasks. These "busywork" assignments eat up valuable time and offer no opportunities for skill development or growth. It feels like being stuck in a hamster wheel, endlessly spinning without making any real progress. This practice stifles your professional aspirations and creates a culture of stagnation. **The Bottom Line:** If you're seeking a work experience that values your skills, rewards your efforts, and offers a clear path for growth, look elsewhere. Pipara & Co. might shimmer with promises, but behind it lies a disillusioning reality of unfulfilled expectations, overworked employees, and a culture that prioritizes profit over people. Choose wisely, and choose a workplace that truly values you....Read More
