I worked at the company for several years, but the experience has progressively worsened under the current leadership, particularly CEO Ramki Sankanarayanan. His decisions seem to be based solely on personal preference, with no real vision for the company’s future or betterment. Ramki does what he wants without any consideration forthe long-term goals or the industry’s rapidly evolving technology. His direct reports are equally out of touch (the "YES" gang) —bad managers who are more focused on securing their positions than fostering innovation or growth in the company. If you're someone who is technically skilled and passionate about the Media & Entertainment industry, you will find no growth here. Ramki and his leadership team have created an environment where deserving employees are sidelined and career assassinated and opportunities for advancement are nonexistent. They’ve even resorted to paying employees to post positive reviews on social media platforms such as Glassdoor, Happy place to work and various others, which is utterly disingenuous. It’s frustrating to see such blatant mismanagement, and it’s clear Ramki is not suited for his role. In addition, we, a group of long-serving employees, have witnessed severe issues within our department under one of the female head of Digital Media Services and Content Localization. Her leadership is characterized by favoritism, self-serving decisions, and a lack of strategic vision. Talented and competent employees are often left feeling insecure and unsupported, especially with her micromanagement style and disconnection from the actual on-ground realities. Despite working in the Media & Entertainment industry, she seems uninterested in updating her knowledge or embracing new technologies, leaving us behind competitors. To add to this, unethical practices such as misuse of company resources, conflicts of interest in outsourcing, and selective increments for her personal favorites have been rampant under her watch. Her decisions, such as hiring inexperienced individuals for leadership roles, only highlight her inability to strategically think for the future of the department and the company. Her proximity to the CEO has shielded her from accountability, which has damaged morale and compromised the company's success. Overall, leadership at the highest levels is weak, unqualified, and uninterested in fostering a progressive, innovative environment. This company has great potential, but without immediate intervention and a change in leadership, it will continue to stagnate....Read More

a technical project manager

Deadend

Hi, I'm here to share a part of my journey from the past 12 years in my career, I started from a package of 3.6LPA in 2013 at iGate and due to a few bad decisions on my career and worthless advices from people who are always pessimistic about the industry, I switched two companies and landed in a start-up with 2.4LPA. I worked hard nearly 8-16hrs a day single handed researched, built and managed an entire vertical of a project for 8 years. When the company didn't value my contribution and thought I was too young to become a manager, I had a package of 6LPA and Senior developer in designation. I switched for obvious reasons to a TL role for 12LPA and now at the same company I'm a TPM on the basis of my contribution with 48LPA as a fixed component. I feel outclassed in terms of having a fancy CV with certifications, I feel like CTC has hit a peak with 48LPA being fixed and nearly 40% in Variable. Most companies are hesitant to hire me because of this. What should be my next move?
