No Salary Discussion in My Appraisal — What’s Your Experience?
In my appraisal meeting, they didn’t ask or discuss my expectations about my salary or hike percentage. The entire discussion was only about feedback and performance review. After the meeting, I asked why they didn’t allow me to share my expectations or reveal my hike numbers. They told me that the hike numbers would be decided only by the owner and then they would inform me. I feel an appraisal meeting should include open discussion about both performance and future expectations. What are your thoughts? Does this happen in your company too?

they made my role redundant and took away my job eithout adequate compensation. I am struggling to find a job yet. They did not even bother to have a discussion with me. They just informed me about the decision . I wrote to the global CEO and CHRO. They did not bother to reply. No one calls to check if all is well. Very sad as an organization

Dislikes

There us too much of politics and favoritism here. That's sad. There are shades of corruption and integrity issues. Nielsen talks about diversity and Inclusion but they don't practice Only preach.

Good start for freshers. Decent work-life balance.

  • Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

Very low pay. Rude colleagues who call themselves seniors because of their tenure, they don't know the basics of the work. The work is just copy-pasting, requires no skill and qualifications. Nobody understand the purpose of doing this. The management is the worst. They are very shady, make fake assurances regarding growth and promotions, target and shame people who speak up or ask for clarity. No efforts taken to retain the top talents. Everyone is leaving and the team will barely make it till the next quarter since it's understaffed and left with people who are good for nothing. When anyone tries to leave due to the above reasons, they are shamed and termed as "job hopper".

Just the compensation offered was good. Rest all dislikes

Dislikes

Constantly laying off people. No respect for people working since 5,10+ years. They offer free lunches and in background laying offs. They have brought GCC in india only to get cheap labour and save money for their larger debt. It’s not the company of same culture as it used to be 5 years ago. They are already a sinking ship. CTO and senior manager expects team to work on weekends for their wrong decisions.
