Dislikes

...r manager even they are wrong, this is the way you can get appreciation here. You will not get any clear idea about your salary and deductions. They are not a good listener for your problem. HR policies are not so good. They are having superior boss like behavior and threatened sometimes rather helping people for their problems and unsatisfaction. You will find sometimes your working manager is less qualified and less skilled than you and they will shout out 'compliance compliance' but in reality they have little knowledge about compliance. So if you're a knowledgeable person, they will suppress your growth. You can't be polite here. If you are, then everyone will try to break jackfruit on your head. If you agree for any kind of fault even it's not your fault, then you are secure. If you want to go against anyone or any bad practice, then you better find another job. Alkem prefers people from bihar. You will find people from whole India but people from bihar will dominate anyhow. Even a PW or CW workers can be abusive and no one will stand by your side guaranteed. Company policies changes frequently. e.g., 1 month notice period changes to 3 months. And you will face difficulties getting relieving letter even you did great job for alkem or having family problem. Alkem trying to implement compliance and things are changing. But how compliance can be implemented if management will not listen and doesn't address your issues.
