Salary comes on time.

Dislikes

Management is pathetic and are very inefficient. Always spend time in strategy planning without any outcomes. Incompetent people have been hired and promoted to Head of Departments and are not deserving for the designation they have been hired. They call themselves as Venture Builder but most of the policies are those of a BPO. Dont have bench policy hence no Job secuirty.

...subject-related questions - you will see what they bring to the table (nothing). Your salary will be below the market rate. Bosses - managers & senior management have no idea what they are doing - so many wrong decisions by seniors, and juniors have to pay the price. The seniors, at least for the product team, never take responsibility and the team suffers. Some favourite employees misbehave with females, and the management does not take any action. Some people are allowed to work from home indefinitely while others must come to the office even during emergencies and illnesses. If you are not a bootlicker, you will suffer here. UK counterparts can enjoy long holidays without disturbance. But Indians must be available during leave, holidays, and weekends - East India Company left and Blenheim Chalcot took its place. Beware - well-qualified people from elite institutes (tier 1 B schools) were lured by this company - 90% of them declined the offer. I wonder why. There is a basic infrastructure shortage - no chairs, no pantry to sit and eat in peace. You ask for a chair and they lash out at you as if it's your fault there is no chair. It's fun though, a game of musical chairs every day. HR is useless and will definitely throw you under the bus. If you are thinking of joining - check the LinkedIn profiles of all senior management folks. See the quality of your peers.

Salary on time. Other then everything negative

Dislikes

Don't fall under positive review on LinkedIn; those are paid reviews that this organization is giving 1000₹ for the video. Don't trust your HR manager or recruiter. 90% of them are providing false information while joining the organization. They will tell you we will give or we have hybrid work or work remotely, but once you sign the joining letter, they directly say you either came to the office regularly or left the organization. One thing I want to highlight is that you should read the joining letter properly because there are many hidden clauses mentioned, but HR never told you or just denied that on call. HR policies are changing monthly.

The good things about this place - Salary comes on time. Work life balance is great but due to a negative reason - there isn't much work to do in the first place, people are on bench for months at stretch. Some of your peers are smart and help you learn, but politics may stop this as people try to one up eachother.

Dislikes

1. Complete lack of structure - they are hiring at large scale without having any structure or processes in place. No onboarding, no process introduction, no expectation setting in a timely manner - many crucial things just don't exist. When the system (or lack of it) fails, the blame falls on people and they become scapegoats. 2. Lack of managers- what happens when 90+ fresh graduates are reporting to a single person, who is a first time manager? You guessed it - chaos. There are not enough managers and it cases tonnes of unresolved issues. 3. Since there are no processes, people can twist the situations as they want. Eg. No response from manager means you have to assume leave has been denied. 4. There is zero onboarding for new joiners and absolutely no support provided in early days. It's acceptable if the managers don't respond to your queries, but not if your work gets affected due to this. The impact of this on people's performance is obviously largely negative. 5. Some times, people don't get projects for months at stretch and being on the bench for a long time might not be a happy place for everyone. 6. A complete lack of culture as 99% of the workforce has been recently hired. People with unacceptable behaviours are tolerated because they keep pleasing the bosses and clients, but treat others like shit. 7. Remote work policies are extremely biased. Some folks are allowed to work remotely, but their reporting team has to strictly work from office, irrespective of circumstances or emergencies. 8. If you decide work here, keep applying to other jobs - because you will never know when you will lose your job. Worst thing about this place - terrible, terrible in terms of job security. Most important advice: If you are letting go of other job offer for this company - we urge you to reconsider - a stable, organized workplace is much better. There is no job security in this place, so take time and decide wisely.
