Some peoples in the management are good they think about your growth and the seniors help you todo your job if needed.

Dislikes

I'm working more than 10 hours, extremely underpaid. Project managers have no good behaviour, they treat you like they own you, they will threat you about Salary if you don't work as per expectations to them and they won't expect any mistake from you as a human. If any mistake dine they'll threat you. When you need emergency leave for you and and your family, project managers think that's not important, only project and client is important. Forces you to make the conversation with seniors when you need help and almost everytime you can't reach them because they're occupied, no training, nothing, but they expect full fledged cutting edge expertise from you, I'm just a fresher and for starting this firm is horribly bad. Yes some good peoples are there too but the worst ones are so bad that they don't care about anything. They'll pressurise you to work on weekends. As a fresher you'll take much time to finish a new task because you've to learn while doing your job, you've to read, search, but project manager thinks I'm just sitting around. At the end you'll be occupied with boring and typical non productive works irrelevant to your work expectations.

Salary is decent for a fresher. Team members are great. Everyone helps out everyone.

Dislikes

You have to stretch your shifts by 2-3 hours at least 4-5 times a month with no overtime pay. Nepotism exists in the Koloata office at least. You have to work night shifts depending on the project.

Being a small company getting promotion is easy enough. Also, will have the accountability of the work which you are doing.

Dislikes

...icromanagement and office politics. # Administration, Finance & Human Resource - Company policies feel biased, as the bonus amount and increments are provided only after you decide to stay a minimum of 6 months furthermore after the fiscal year the bonus was awarded for. - Exit policy brings employees to financial crises by reducing the notice period salary to half which is refunded after 90 days of last working day. - Irrational miscellaneous costs are deducted from Full and Final Settlement.

Team mates are helpful. Huge scope for travel

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. Some times, work pressure is high. Allocating work is done at the last minute leading to fire fighting exercise always. Director doesnt contribute much in terms of suggestion related to work. Worst experience of politics i have ever noticed. I mean, feedback doesnt reach you but is known to everyone except you. Feedback given is twisted and presented in such a way that even the person who has given feedback will be in dilemma as to what has happened.

Did not cut pay in lockdown (however I was 100% working in lockdown) but all leaves are deducted. HR policies are very bad in terms of leaves. No mental health and well being leaves or some kind of benefits. Beware of 3 months notice period.

Dislikes

...r Management does not value your contribution. Managerial culture is followed. I had major accident while travelling to work and had to take 2 months bedrest but no compensation given (or their is no accidental insurance), even manger asked to work and salary was deducted for that 2 months. Culture is toxic. Full of career damaging politics. You will not get promotion if you are not licking manager's XXXXX. No growth opportunity both in terms of money & knowledge, repetitive client is provided and expected that you will do magic in audit review. No position all credit is taken by Directors and managers. HR is so stupid that you cant complain anything. Certain Directors are MBA and does not value your technical observations and ruined the reports. Reports are reviewed after 3-5 months and audits are started after insisting by client. For joining, you will get decent hike, since it is consulting business and work is not at all qualitative.....useless work and more money. Remember they are competing Big 4 and middle east is primarily providing 70-80% of business. The work is garbage and you need to dance on their music. Join at your own risk.
