They pay a salary at par with market standard. Infact for some cases the payment is above market standard. The mediclaim benifit is pretty awesome, Infact one of the best in the market.

Dislikes

1. They have hired all the top performers from the market and put them in the management bench. There is a massive difference between management skills and production skills. I personally felt like being managed by a bunch of farmers! 2. Zero work life balance, people here work on an average 14 to 16 hours shift. 3. Huge racism, the south indians have their seperate lobby, the North Indians have a different lobby. 4. Overworking and hard workers are glorified. Much like a labour class mentality. People in mid management brag about how they have come from poor families and have made their way up by hard work. They won't train you mentioning they didn't get proper training when they joined and expect you to go through the hardships of self learning! I have heard open comments on the floor where just because an associate drives an expensive car to office the managers get jealous, mentioning that even after working so hard we don't have a fancy car and these young brats are having the time of their life. The floor is full of these uncles coming from mediocre families and expecting others to go through the life struggles they have been through. Oh and did I mention weekend working? 5. The office doesn't even give you tissues to wipe! Mentioning it to be a cost saving initiative. The floor AC is kept off for energy saving and you have 3 urinals in the women's washroom for a floor strength of 80 odd women! 6. No interaction with senior management. Infact during town halls people are discouraged to ask questions. 7. If you speak up your team will be changed. 8. Layoffs, Apex group has already layed off around 170 employees without any specific reason whatsoever. 9. Don't trust me , check out the LinkedIn profile of any senior / mid management here in Apex, you will notice this is the only organisation in which they have received promotion / career growth. And most of them come from small companies whose ratings are equivalent to that of Apex! 10. There is literally no HR! The director is all in all, walking around like a boss with pan masala in his mouth! Complete trash!

Salary on time IT service very good

Dislikes

Pathetic work culture with severe politics. Juniors record the phone conversations and phone line is kept open while chatting on Microsoft teams thereby compromising the principles of confidentiality and breach of trust.

Negligible Bonus and Increments No Appreciation for performances and still expect alot from you Many Managers hired are from outside of corporates so they run their team like a Kirana stores.. Management's only focus is on cost cuttings so there have been layoffs 6 months ago and there is no job security Many Managers in hyderabad and banglore lack basic english communication skills.. 4 Days WFO which makes no sense at all since your manager and team members will be working from some different locations altogether Micro Management by top level managers- they will even monitor your looo breaks... There are some people who keep an eye on everyone and inform their masters.. this is the only thing that they are goood at. Boot lic*ing

Though it depends on the team you working on for work life balance but majority of the team goes on time and not much of a issue with volume of work.

Dislikes

No proper hike no proper bonus. Hardly you will get 4 to 5 % hike yearly that too if you get a promotion or progression. If you ask any questions about this you won't get anything. Management is not proper they have no idea about how to manage. Keep changing their plans there not even a one plan which stayed for 6months so far.
