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. 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. **Comparative Discontent:** Despite a high workload, the firm lags in compensation and gratitude compared to industry standards, contributing to employee frustration. 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

Oh god, I dont know from where is should start. I wish i have gone through the review about this frim from this website and glassdoor. I will try to cover as many things as possible but long story short, do not join this firm. I will give you reason in the following para, 1. Manager with whom i am working is a shit. He treats us like he owns us. you cannot leave the firm before 7.30 this is a rule and culture is to sit till 8.30 every day. Yes, Every day even though you dont have work to do and from past 4 months i have been reaching home after 10.00 pm everyday. (side note- CAs working here informed me that they this situation is persistent since past 6 months) 2. Even if we are working late they dont provide us dinner to us. Everyday we get street food and mind you that i am ok with the street food but i cannot eat everyday. once we had asked him to get us proper food (not fancy pizza) he informed us to get it ordered and you will get this reimbursed. 3. Speaking of reimbursement, you will get reimbursement after 3 to 4 months only and that you will get once HR performs FORENSIC of reimbursements 4. Micro Management- Manager says that we take 3 hours break, one for lunch, one for tea, and one for snacks. This is totally rubbish. further who says such things 5. Lately i have come to know that CAs who are working here had to sign the 15 months bond and still they leave before the bond period because of work harassment. 6. In my 5 month of tenure, 7 CAs/semi/employee/articles had absconded and attrition rate is also very high. 7. Favoritism is pretty ostensible here against one community and they potray that other castes are inferior to them....Read More

Worst choice

Dislikes

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. 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. 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

I would have to restart my career to find one

Dislikes

I have let the firm long time back because of following reasons; 1. I wanted to pursue my career in tax and litigation and I had enquired with the HR that I want tax and litigation and it was informed to me that Mumbai branch have Tax exposure and after couple of day I enquired with couple of articles and CAs working there and I released that Mumbai branch does not have any litigations or tax filing. I am unable to understand that How come HR can play with my career without even thinking TWICE. I was lucky and I left the FIRM. 2. I was there in the firm for only 2 weeks and one thing which I realised the no one is happy in this firm. Articles where trying to take transfer from the firm, Employees who where working where counting days to leave the firm. (FIRM have e BOND policy and every employee is supposed to SERVE 15 months in the organisation) 3. Colleagues where informing me that OUT OF POCKET expenses take 3 to 4 months of time. Although this was my 1st organization and I had informed this to my Dad who himself is a working professional. He told me to leave the organization at the 1st place. This expense reimbursement timing itself is unreasonable said by my Dad. 4. I am mostly concerned about why HR had to lie to me about tax. It was a turning point and I left...Read More

Comp. Off policy- Articles will get compensation for the extra hours they had worked.

Dislikes

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. 4. The work culture is not good.
