Dislikes

This is specially for my account (THREE part) Sanofi and one part CTS The Sanofi account in EAS SAP has a toxic work environment. This account has many manager's and this causes red tapism. The consultant are left in to the lion's cage to fend for themselves with an over aggressive client. Once done with clients we have to put up with blaming manager who make you feel let down. This account always has alot of load due to extra stringent contract signed. All high paying resources be warned you'll be used to Every rupee and thrown out once your purpose is done. Don't expect consideration. CTS down part the company now function s like a start up No HR no POC for company policy all in management hand

What I do not like is the tracking machine. This tracks no. Of hours spent in work place and it's mandatory to complete minimum 9 hours 30 min. This is something which I do not recommend for an MNC to have.
