I learned a lot from here

Dislikes

Work load is too much that I am not able to manage my personal and family life. Salary hike is also not done on time or properly.

The firm does not have the policy to lay-off anyone. They will only torture you mentally till you leave by yourself.

Dislikes

- Toxic Work Environment - Salaries are never received on time, 12-15days time is taken from the salary cycle - Appraisal takes minimum 6months from the time it is due after promising to do it in time - Partners will never review on time, keep you waiting for days initially and last minute will ask you to work late nights - When working late nights, no facility is given for employee safety. Female employees are also not given any safe facility to reach home. - Without giving adequate team expect one person to complete all deliverables on time and keep working excess overtime everyday. Not willing to recruit as well. - All saturdays are full-day working, no leverage is given....Read More

Dislikes

Not a good place to be, off lately they are in financial problem as salaries are not paid or delayed and bonuses are promised but not paid, they ll make fake promises & many commitments but will not honour them. Always they ll give excuse that people have not submitted their timesheet. and those who do not fill timesheet do not exist in the system My friends are still working here but most of them are not happy<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Performance assessment is off track and they don't want to pay but exploit work from people</mark>. Poor commitment, defensive attitude, no planning , they will not review your work and after client follows up they ll harass you, if you say anything to them then they ll take revenge including partner who does the same thing. Never fall in the trap of bonus they will never pay and will make you beg very much for the same and make more delay in paying your money and give excuse which will keep peddling for decisions from chennai office. Better to avoid such poor managed audit firms with no culture....Read More
