Red Flagging the company is important for the design community who might want to apply.

I will take the time to list out a clear picture of why designers should avoid this company even though they may feel remote working is a huge perk (like me) and compromise to work in an unknown company as this one. INTRUSIVE INTERVIEW - The HR and Director (both women) asked if I am single or married. (Are they looking to hire husbands as well?) - They insisted on asking who live with me in the house, justified it by saying they want to know if I have a suitable space for remote work. Why not just ask if I have compatible remote work environment at home? Here's also what they won't tell you: After you're hired, they will let u go without any former warning or intimation, locking you out of the system with zero HR process and clarity. The HR team is highly incompetent, leaving you in the dark. SHADY POLICIES - They ask you if your are ok with installing a software called Hubstaff - an employee time tracker - on your personal laptop. The software takes screenshots of your personal laptop every few seconds. They sounded very shady because they asked me if I'm sure I'm okay with installing Hubstaff 3-4 times. - I asked if I could opt for a company laptop since my personal laptop was not in top condition. They assured me that after 45 days of employment, I would be eligible to apply for a company laptop. Here's what they won't tell you: 1. Every 5 minutes the Hubstaff tracker goes on IDLE mode if you don't click. This is a form of extreme micromanagement which is harmful to mental health. 2. The company gives you the option of PURCHASING a laptop after 45 days and over a period of ONE YEAR they will pay EMIs and complete the payment. If they decide to randomly terminate you, you're stuck with your EMIs to be filled on your own. PEOPLE WORK IN THE DARK LIKE BLIND MICE - My first day of work, I spoke to the existing designer and she was shocked I had joined because she was told the company is not expanding their design team. This automatically leads to insecurity from the existing designer who is now wondering whether their job is on the line, are they getting replaced? - Due to my sudden entry, I had to slowly work my way into gaining her trust and making sure she understood that I come with experience as she was highly defensive in her communication. WEIRD WORK ENVIRONMENT - They have a "stand up" call every single morning scheduled at 10.30 am and your calendar will reflect it as a 30 min call. In reality the call lasts anywhere between 1hr to 2.5 hrs, eating into your deliverable time. Here's also what they also won't tell you: 1. The stand up call is a five day AIB ROAST by the lady Director where all the team members are made to turn on camera (or are shamed till they do it) and are insulted regardless of their age, seniority or expertise. It is a one-way monologue where you are not given the space or power to justify or support your work and deliverables. The meeting leaves you demotivated, insulted and confused every single day. 2. If you can't join this life-sucking "Stand up" call, you will be marked has half a day absent. 3. They have a core team member who moonlights as an HR personnel as well. So INCASE you have the bad luck of working with her and maybe having a difference of opinion in a project collaboration, you could potentially piss her off and risk your longevity in the company. She is quick to tattle tale to the HR team about her issues with you - in my case, my slow personal laptop which I couldn't do anything about. MORONIC HR TEAM - The HR has NO clue about company policies - starting from laptop policy right up to exit formality and process. - The HR went as far as arguing with me about a certain Diwali bonus that was given to everyone, inspite of me having shared an actual aticlearly I was eligible. - During my fictional exit "process" she was highly reluctant in sending me an email. Instead she wanted me to be happy with her vague steps over an incohesive verbal conversation on teams call. - The HR had annoyed me so much with her lack of information while I was being let go off that I stopped being polite and giving her a piece of mind. She then cooly asked me to not "jump the gun" and that she will keep me informed. The next thing I know, I was locked out of the company system. Parting words: - Remote work is tempting, but this company makes sure you wished going to office instead of dealing with a bunch of unethical people. - Mental health is deprioritised. - You end up doing below mediocre work due to the lack of vision and power given to you....Read More
