Only likes about this company are the on-time salary. Company used to have good policies till 2023 and provided good money and bonuses to the employees for their hardwork. The office culture used to be very healthy it really felt like a good workplace. That was the last good time of this company.

Dislikes

Only join this company if you are very desperate for a job. No job security at all and if you want job security you will need to overwork your targets. The management here feels like it is the responsibility of writer to get work and hold them responsible if no work is there. The company struggles to get work and laysoff employees like they are robots. Policies are ever changing, management keeps on changing policies that benefits them and blames everything on China teams. Most Managers are just previous writers promoted to manager with no managing skills. Manager position is a joke for this company should rename to coordinators. Work is very mundane it may seem interesting at first but you will be gaining no skills whatsoever maybe some skills in academic content which are not relevant if you switch from this company believe me my friend. Rules are different for every employee if you work more then more benefits and vice versa. They call themselves corporate but don’t know anything about a real corporate. There used to be two branches but now only one branch is there and the other branch and its employees were treated like they never existed. Can’t really totally blame management as writers here are ready to work 24x7 to achieve unrealistic targets and set high expectations for other writers who have a work life balance. So if you are ready to work like that you can join only for monetary purpose bonuses are good ofcourse when you have no life outside of work. At the end you will get stuck in the money illusion this company creates for you as no one else pays this high outside for just making assignments. In summary its not a good time to join here as a writer.

Dislikes

Ambiguous pay structure, No payment for the training period despite the promise in the first mail, Unjustified Salary deductions, Leave Without Pay to reduce target, Still working on leaves without pay, Lack of help from overworked TMs, Abysmal work-life balance, Non-cooperative Branch Managers, Lack of flexibility in working hours, Requirement to be available beyond office hours, Expectation to answer within 20 mins of a message even during odd hours, No respect for the writer's expertise, Opacity in policy matters that change overnight. In fact, the office was relocated without proper information (beforehand) to the new joiners so that they could re-think whether they wished to travel the distance.

I worked for more than 6 years in the company. Initially the management valued their employees and salary/benefits were good.

Dislikes

...st, even such that they can change policies any minute as per their convenience. The company can impose unfair, and baseless penalties and even deduct the money from basic pay. Initially, they valued their employees and paid well but now in the writer position they can just change policies and claim anything unnecessary enough to make you suffer and cut cost. Team Manager or quality manager position in this company is just a way to exploit the human resource unless you're yes-man or a bootlicker. Promotions in this company is easy, but they don't give authority with promotion. This company is a great example of micromanagement, and abuse of human resource. This company is a trap!!!!
