Company policies have changed a lot, they used to be employee friendly. Project Dhansantushti is the name of the annual ritual of golden handshakes, where people are kicked off and then they start re hiring again. Nobody at Vana who is hired to do a job ends up doing the same job, in fact they run around like headless chickens they do not know what they are supposed to do. There is a lot of foo foo about karma and dharma, yet the level of toxicity is incomparable. I should be grateful as being thrown into the deep end has served me well and I learnt a lot, and exited when there were just games being played and no work done....Read More

Dislikes

Lots of politics: the focus is on placating the owner and not on work. Only the sycophants have stuck on, those who have nowhere else to go. The promotions are given to those who are in the owner's radar, irrespective of their work and actual contribution. There is a very negative environment of perpetual dissatisfaction. There is anexus of people who act as filters of communication and make sure the honest picture is not presented to the owner. The owner is very benevolent to his new senior management hires in the beginning, and then just drops them like hot potato and insults them. They take the insult because by now they have grown used to the pampering (gifts and privileges) and know they will not be hired at the same position anywhere else. In essence, highly toxic environment. Also, there are no trainings for skill development of the employees. The management has money for multi tiered gold leafed cakes but no money or inclination to give their designers a simple adobe refresher. Really, have never seen this pell mell anywhere else....Read More
