Likes

The company is decent, pay is at par with industry.

Dislikes

Culture could be better, very rigid about the timings of the office. Work-life balance needs to be improved, especially during the WFH times like now.

...ep changing policies and trying to steal from people pocket in one way or other. Recently company has started rolling out changes through which they will be able to slash the percentage of salary payout that was promised to many while joining. Company keep employee payout basis business performance where as it is not public or not even shared internally. How come one can know if business is performing well or not but his salary is dependent on it. Recently company came with idea of eating margin from people who would be meeting expectations working through out the year. Changes in payout policy has been done to make sure least people get payout and company can save from paying what they promised. Leave policy is shab, taking leave is so difficult that you will frustrated why you even joined this company. Hard working policy aka hybrid policy is nothing just telling you that you have to be working from office most of the days in week. They should seriously close this hybrid working and come back to full day, atleast egoistic decision makers. Company Top Leader is not a leader infact just a manager as he work without any communication with employees, support his wrong doings by wrapping under company policies. No communication or interaction with employees, most even won't approve leadership. Top leadership needs a introspection or someone from global should come and start interacting with employees for honest feedback. HR will tell you about Great Working place award which is won through surveys which are filled by selected folks in the company. Internal survey shoes worrysome employee satisfaction ratings which is true picture as company is rolling out questionable policies. HR dept is under useless leadership who is just passing time and working against people. People are called to office on weekends, asked to work from home on weekend. Immense work pressure, if you complaint HR supports manager and you will be checked out basis performance issues. Company is famous for sending bad news only on Fridays....!!!

Dislikes

(Hogarth Studios Gurugram)Politics, no job security, wont get any salary hike, weekends pe kaam(yay!). Please dont join if you are a fresher, they will extend your contract and make you work for 20000 wala salary. Some of my colleagues were working there in night shift for that price. So if anyone promises you that they will give you hike then you cant trust them. And please dont join F*rd IMG team for any price, even if they triple your current salary, you will surely regret it.(Senior Manager in f*rd IMG team is unprofessional, woh micro manage karegi, piche pad jayenge aur agar aapne uski complaint krdi toh most likely aap hi ko nikal dia jayega, she will be your manager btw.)

Wide spectrum and all teams are well connected at ground level, irrespective of location globally.

Dislikes

Very specific to Team Chennai- GDC- People are proud about Tamil language and speakers, hence every one else are outcasts. Other centres like North America, USA< Canada, UK, Dubai all are very supportive and always eager to help. However, people in Chennai or team in Chennai is stuck in the well where there is no water. They should speak in English and ground level team does support, its the leadership and HR team pathetic and un-professional.
