Vana Retreats Marketing Manager Dehradun Reviews

Likes

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.

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.
