The work profile is good. I got a lot of experience working with my clients in all domains. Salary and reimbursement are paid on time. The senior team is very helpful and good. Everything is very well managed in the COVID situation and ensure proper safety. The company director, Soumya Mam is also very nice and approachable.

Starlit Services is an extremely dedicated team of professionals and shadow teachers. Right from joining, to training, to parent meeting and throught your working with your client, the intervention team is very hands on and supportive of all the professionals. The way everything is coordinated and operated is excellent, which ensures the growth and progress of the young clients each shadow teacher is working with. In addition, continuous training ensures that the strategies used by the teachers are tried and tested. A great learning experience for freshers keen to work with special needs children. One thing I'd like to highlight about Starlit services in the current situation of lock down due to Covid-19 is that, in the initial days of the outbreak (before the lock down), there were official mails sent to all their professionals detailing the precautionary measures to be taken during their sessions. In addition, a very generous amount was reimbursed to each and every employee to buy the necessary equipments like masks and sanitizers. Those travelling were specifically advised not to take public transport and they were reimbursed all their travelling expense. This indeed are efforts that make an employee feel respected and valued in their work place....Read More

Dislikes

The work of a shadow teacher in itself is of great responsibility. The company rules require one to be very professional with the goals set for each month, reporting of each session and filling in generic reports for the child you are working with. This may become taxing sometimes. But there is always someone there to support and help you with it.

Starlit is one of those organisations which provides a hands-on experience and learning curve for those who want to work with childrens having special needs. I have come across colleagues from Team Starlit and it's amazing to have meetings with them where you have fun learning. The Admin and Intervention team is very prompt and helpful whenever you approach them for any concerns. Here we have trainings, meetings and workshops conducted by professionals which would enhance your knowledge and skills to another level. Travel completely depends on the client openings they have ensuring logistical travel. The regular meetings and trainings that are provided by Starlit is the best platform to learn more and improve your skill sets. If you really work hard, you get appraised by the clients and even Starlit boosts your motivation. Hardwork pays off ! Yes, that's where I have also been awarded as the Star Employee of the month....Read More

Initial days are going to be very hectic. Everyone would be behind you. You may feel frustrated but as it is a new environment you may require some guidance hence you have people taking follow ups from you. Slowly and gradually once you settle, you get used to it. I won't say HR and Admin policies are poor. HR policies are framed depending on the nature of job and clients that you are working with....Read More

I had applied for the job and got a response from the HR instantly. Being a fresher, I was very nervous about my first job but the Team was very supportive with regard to my silly doubts and confusions. Also, every alternate Saturday is working, where a meeting is held at the office. All the professionals come together to share ideas and come up with strategies that could work out during a roadblock with the client. This is backed by the Starlit Team. The entire team is very approachable and the meetings are always a perfect balance of fun and seriousness at the same time. They also give a chance to the professionals to conduct workshops during the Saturday meetings. This training has personally helped me develop my skill. There is a transparency for all organisational protocols and structure. Hence, everyone is well aware of the policies during their joining. Starlit has a well detailed policy regarding expectations from the employees. They have a well structured policy for Holidays and Working hours. When leaves are put in at the last moment, the Admin Team does not appreciate it. Keeping in mind that we work with special children, I personally feel this is fair enough as the client, parents and teachers tend to suffer when a sudden leave is put in by the professional. Overall, I enjoy working with Starlit and the way the entire team motivates you to give your best....Read More

Dislikes

A lot of documentation to be maintained with respect to the client which may get overwhelming when it is not done on time by the professional.

The company is doing a good when it comes to helping special children gain independence. The founder and MD is approachable and nice. They have weekly meetings to discuss cases and deal with roadblocks. The intervention team is helpful.

Dislikes

They have an employment contract of one year. They also keep the original documents like marksheets with them as a form of security which is not the best way to handle it. The HR and admin can be a bit rude and impolite.

I had joined starlit as fresher with minimum skill sets to work with children with special needs , however training that starlit has provided has helped me to develop my skill to another level . From developing patience to working in a very structured environment they train you in every aspect of the profession. The intervention team at the starlit works very hard in development of the professionals and they ensure each professional perform to best of their capacity. Another plus point of the company is all the Saturday meetings that teach you more than your area of working , the discussion in the meetings are very helpful for career growth. Other than your area of working one gets to know about other therapies and how they impact children , you get to meet so many new people in the profession that definitely help you in your skill development....Read More

Dislikes

This organization is amazing in terms of skill development however there does not seem to be work life balance , after almost 9 hrs of work you have calls to attend either from client or from seniors in the company and sometimes both of them , aprt from that changes in the companies structure are quite often and one needs to adopt to it quickly. Since there is no particular office work and one has to travel at client location it sometimes is quite hectic to give quality work after 40 mins travel . There are lot of documents that need to be updated weekly and which sometimes seem to be too much of work. There are irrational expectations of the clients from professional which are not part of their profile and organisation does not seem to do anything about it. They expect the professional to agree with what client wants and work accordingly. Overall this organization is good however their structure needs some changes. The work is sometimes repetitive and promotion is slow....Read More

My work is interesting however it is mentally tiring , I barely get time for myself as all you have after coming back from home is planning for other day about clients or attending the calls from company . It is repetitive sometimes .
