First of all, culture, a lot of gossip culture wherein bosses function not from the basis of an employee's professional performance but from the gossip he has experienced, unclear and chaotic lines of instruction, means of delivering feedback is demeaning sometimes, and regardful, constructive sometimes depending on the mood of the boss, even a 10% or even 5% pay raise its like you cant expect after TWO years of slogging, to justify which they will rather make you the worst possible review, functioning again from gossip perhaps and not from your proveable performance. But they wont fire you, rather ask you to come to their terms of your own exploitation. This exploitation also was rather gender-biased, male employees are given raises even if unmentionworthy. You'll always find the females here complaining about the culture, discrimination, with no formal procedure for HR concerns addressals. Until the time I quit following being given a forceful poor review and refusal for raise after 2 years with a project, they did not have a functional HR department, to who is an aggrieved employee supposed to address their concerns? They do not care about employee retaining even if a ward is sincere and committed to the cause the company and the project. They would rather hire and keep on mass hiring on substandard salaries, and then keep on refusing the deserved raise. I have known other people to resign from projects coming from similar concerns.

The most horrible place Ihad worked for. They survive on donations, but behave like Big Corporate conglomerate s. The ones in management like to designate themselves like corporate officers and behave like ones. Politics run haywire throughout. Buttering the Seniors remains under norms. No scope or career for talented ones. They like to enjoy donations like anything. They prefer employees who act like disciples before Godman. They think themselves to be Scientists and all, while they have done nothing for namesake. They're​ always concerned someone would know their traits. They've​ been openly criticized and rebuked in NGO forum meetings. They project themselves as a foremost research platform, but no such resource actually exists. This is an illusion and best known to them. They have no financial or HR policies, but had made such soft copies by pasting things from the internet, to submit as and when needed. Organisation by fools. They prefer ancient salaries, and without any structur
