The company offers excellent opportunities for all employees, ensuring equal growth and development prospects. Additionally, the company provides valuable fringe benefits that are genuinely helpful to staff members. The organization frequently gathers feedback via email, demonstrating a commitment to fostering healthy and effective communication. This proactive approach helps identify areas for improvement and ensures that the workplace remains supportive and conducive to both personal and professional growth. By prioritizing employee well-being and maintaining open lines of communication, the company creates a positive and collaborative environment for everyone involved....Read More

Dislikes

The team lead and manager at the company are excessively interfering in employees' personal lives, which is both inappropriate and unprofessional. They also fall short in providing necessary work-related guidance and support. Their consistently rude and dismissive behavior towards subordinates creates a hostile work environment. Moreover, they exhibit an inflated sense of entitlement, believing they are always right, which stifles open communication and constructive feedback. This conduct significantly impacts team morale and productivity, and it is essential to address these issues promptly to ensure the well-being of employees and the overall effectiveness of the team. Addressing these concerns will foster a more respectful, supportive, and productive workplace for everyone involved....Read More

Commitment to innovations and continuous improvement. WK fosters an environment where collaboration is encouraged and there is always room to share ideas and solutions. Supportive and inclusive work culture makes it easy to grow professionally.

Dislikes

While I appreciate many aspects of working for WK, one area for improvement could be streamlining some internal process. Occasionally, decision-making or approvals can take longer than expected, which can impact employee productivity. This is often due to the need of review and compliance.

1) 2 days a week in office for my division with no minimum hours criteria 2) For teams with managers outside India, even 1 day in a quarter is fine as long as manager doesn't have any issues 3) Salary is good especially for freshers or 4-5 years experienced 4) Internship programs with good stipend, and interns are considered for hiring whenever freshers are required 5) Job is not stressful. Many employees are satisfied with their salary and work-life balance and plan to retire from this company. 6) Admin and IT team is supportive with quick responses....Read More

Dislikes

Lack of growth and performance is the biggest red-flag. 1) Lack of proper performance evaluation system. Managers rate whatever they feel and have a preoccupied notion of their team members. 2) Promotion depends on your manager rather than skills, tenure, and performance. A 4-yr experienced and a 12-yr experienced employee can be at the same job role. 3) While they boast about good IJP programs, they won't give more than 10% hike in internal job movements whereas will offer 30% or more for external candidates for same roles. 4) Even IJP program is not very good, as teams prefer to hire external candidates even when they have suitable team members in their own teams. Have noticed this as the main criteria of employees leaving due to job dissatisfaction and lack of trust from management. 5) Employees' contributions in additional responsibilities such as sports committees, CSR responsibilities, etc. has zero value as they aren't considered during promotions and appraisals. 6) Few teams have team members following hybrid policy regularly whereas some of their team members are completely working remotely. Even in these scenarios, there are no browny points to employees who visit office and naturally have more collaboration and are given more responsibilities in team activities because they are physically present. There is absolutely no benefit to employees who follow 2-days in office than their teammates who have the privilege of working remotely full-time. 7) Performance bonus percentage is not good since 2022. 8) WFH policy is not same across the company as few teams come to office hardly 2-3 times a month, whereas many teams are adamant about 2-3 days in the office with no exceptions. 9) HR is almost non-existent. There are neither skip-level meetings nor any regular employee engagement sessions (except annual survey forms)....Read More
