persons like Hem Chand - the worst manager i have ever seen. Hem Chand became manager just because he is favorite to Kartik and he always resign and Kartik retain him. by doing these tricks he became Sr. Manager. i have serious concern about his leadership style and work practices. 1. Authoritarian Leadership : Hem Chand consistently exhibits a "dictator" approach, making decisions without consulting to team or considering input from employees. this has created an uncomfortable and stifling work environment. 2. favoritism : Hem Chand appears to favor certain employees, who are treated as "puppets" disregarding other's opinion and contribution. this had led to lack of fairness and team cohesion. 3. Lack of knowledge : Hem Chand demonstrate limited knowledge in area that are critical to role , leading to poor decision making and ineffective guidance to team. this undermines others ability to work efficiently and accomplish tasks properly. 4. Over-reliance on AI Tools : Hem Chand frequently uses AI tools like ChatGPT to generate responses and solution for work related tasks, rather than providing informed guidance based on their own knowledge and experience. This reliance on technology undermines the leadership role and reduce the quality of decision being made. 5. Data Privacy Concerns : By using ChatGPT and similar AI tools, Hem Chand is inadvertently creating serious data privacy issues. these tools might be processing confidential company data or personal information, which can potentially breach company's data privacy policy and put company at risk of legal and security consequences.

Salary on time nothing else

Dislikes

1. Unreasonable pressure on leads and devs as print scope and requirement changes on daily basis due to rushed task execution demand of manager. 2. Micro management on peak here,. 3. As an outsider from other team, I have observed that the CS team culture is quite troubling. There is an excessive amount of politics among the both team member and manager, which seems to be creating an unproductive environment. 4. I have observed that on 11/10/2024 only 15-20% of members were present in CS team. There is a partiality going on regarding work from home and office timings for team members. Manager is not able to manage that how team members are coming late to office and going early. 5. I have seen that in many of teams there are 1-2 members are doing permanent WFH. I don't know how HR and managers are doing this kind of partiality.

It’s a steady and a progressive company. Salary is on time, salary increases is on time. It’s a process driven company.

Dislikes

They are very process and policy driven and at times individual flexibility needs are not met.

Not sure why people are siting that salary on 25th ? Seriously all companies do that may be the. folks coming to this org are coming from places where salary was an issue. But generally there is no benefit here So Just go there if you have no place to go. What I had see is that good people quit this early while people good with politics continue for longer.

Tech stack wise they have everything in experimentation but no guts to take anything to production because of incompetent leaders in key position who just try to save the day! All legacy system are working in parallel to save the business which could had been improved over time but because of favoritism and assignment of incompetent leaders its all messy! Well the Offer letter from the company is structured to loot money. Whenever you leave you have to sacrifice 6 month to one year of variable component. Also the variable component is tied to review and in case you happen to get a insecure manager or not able to please your manager well then this whole amount will be 0 so basically you can always risk your 10% variable. So Negotiate offer well. I was a good performer but in last year the manager got changed and I had lost a massive part of CTC so just be cautious. Currently the level of politics is cutthroat. Lot of incompetent people are holding key positions and you can be in messy situation before you realize it! Skip level discussion is either not happening or are just for name sake and totally ineffective.
