...air. Performance appraisal neither on time nor fair. A very arbitrary process. Even after performance appraisal is done, maybe even 6 months after it is due, that too after constant follow-up and begging by the employee concerned, the reflection in the salary ay take another 6 months and the next salary appraisal process starts and the entire mental stress/torture repeats again. HR has absolutely no voice and will refuse to follow-up with the management for increment. HR is even unaware of the date of performance evaluation for the employees. No policy as regards performance appraisal. No HR policy in place. No compliance with legal provisions such as POSH etc. EPF not available for employees. Salary takes 15 days to process. Sometimes longer. Employees are expendable. The company is run like a one man family firm and there is complete disregard for process and procedure. As there is no standard policy, favoritism plays a big part and every employee gets treated differently. No opportunity for career growth. Harassment of employees is common place and is even justified by HR and partners through unfair and purposeful negative feedback.

The firm does not have the policy to lay-off anyone. They will only torture you mentally till you leave by yourself.

Dislikes

- Toxic Work Environment - Salaries are never received on time, 12-15days time is taken from the salary cycle - Appraisal takes minimum 6months from the time it is due after promising to do it in time - Partners will never review on time, keep you waiting for days initially and last minute will ask you to work late nights - When working late nights, no facility is given for employee safety. Female employees are also not given any safe facility to reach home. - Without giving adequate team expect one person to complete all deliverables on time and keep working excess overtime everyday. Not willing to recruit as well. - All saturdays are full-day working, no leverage is given.
