Worst company I have ever seen

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night. Managers do not value an individuals’ unique strengths, which is why I have to take back my suggestions most of the times. I do receive appreciation emails from my client, but they mostly go unnoticed during my mid-year appraisals. Also, there is no on-job training for freshers, hence senior folks like me have to guide them step-by-step, which is a pain sometimes.

Might be good for engineers but not for finance professional.

Dislikes

.... Too much bossism. Totally unfriendly to employees; specially entry level ones. Poor salary structure as they manipulate your basic with some other allowance to make the CTC look great but there won't be much in take home salary. And they don't allow employees to leaves into consideration while exiting; they are forced to serve 90 days notice.

Dislikes

1. The Opex team currently faces significant challenges in its functioning and management. 2. There is a lack of clarity from management regarding expectations and requirements. 3. Micro-management practices hinder effective work processes. 4. The primary focus is on meeting the 25-day Turnaround Time (TAT) for procurement, with little consideration for the nature or complexity of the tasks involved. 5. The work culture is difficult and does not promote productivity or employee satisfaction. 6. The department has an excessive number of reporting heads, creating ambiguity in roles and responsibilities. 7. Employees often face confusion about reporting lines, which include multiple figures such as the Business Head, Business SPOC, Vertical Head, Category Head, Opex Head, and COE Head. 8. The effectiveness of category managers is perceived to be minimal. 9. Review meetings are scheduled frequently, sometimes multiple times a day, disrupting workflow. 10. The SOP lacks clarity and purpose, causing frustration during its implementation. Unlike other organizations where SOPs simplify and streamline processes, here they create hurdles at every step. 11. Although the "7 Values of GMR" are frequently discussed in meetings, they are rarely upheld in practice. 12. The exit policy is cumbersome and demoralizing, with resigning employees often being treated poorly. 13. The HR team is perceived as unreliable and inconsistent in their practices. 14. During the PR to PO conversion process, buyers bear sole accountability to meet the 25-day deadline, even when delays are caused by internal or external stakeholders. 15. Employees are treated like bonded laborers when they ask for leave, and if they take sick leave, they're accused of lying—just because they’re not coughing." 16. If considering joining this company, avoid the Opex team—particularly the Purchase division. Other departments may offer a more positive experience.

Becoming less employee-oriented and lacks respect for its workforce. There's a noticeable decrease in open communication, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. Employees feel undervalued due to the absence of recognition for their hard work, and there's a worrying trend of increased work expectations without consideration for work-life balance. Despite providing feedback, little action has been taken to address these issues. I believe it's crucial to encourage open dialogue, recognize employee achievements, and promote a healthier work environment
