A lot of office politics, There is nothing like job security here. All of a sudden HR will come and say today is your last working day, they will force you to resign. They will say that you will not get relieving letter if you don't resign. Reach Local is managed by Gannet & there is a lot of office politics and which is overseen or unnotice. VP ( Example-Humprey's Toni) is direct connect with the office chamagiri's like tenured employees(Example Dhruv Paras) and decisions are made by hearing the office chamchagiri's, which is the worst part of this company. I have never seen in my corporate life this kind of chamchagiri's allowed by a international companies. A lot of office Politics nothing like ethics, hard working employee's will be terminated with no reasons and boot lickers will be promoted to high levels.

...is creates a problem whose name shall we suggest when we enter the organization. Then they say we have a bond for 2 years and we need to pay deposit of Rs 50,000/- for their laptops and we can take them when we leave organization, its an organization rule. If we don't agree on this HR says give blank cheque with no amount in the bank, company has no time to verify so you will get your job 100%. Whatever and however assignment you do, you will get hired its our promise, Please don't tell this to anyone. This is why most of the people have fear joining there.

...of doing business last month when they terminated me, citing performance issues. And without my knowledge, they deducted my previous month's salary and are now asking me to pay the remaining amount to get release letters. They took my hard-earned money, but I will make sure this never happens to some other poor guy. So, candidates, please don't apply to this organisation blindly. Even if you do, please get all the clauses rectified by a professional lawyer. If they don't allow that, please don't join. You can reach out to me if you have any doubts.

1. Work Life Balance - You can leave after completing a mandatory 9 hour shift. No after work calls post your shift. 2. People - A few of them are really nice and helpful but there are also a few snakes who would use your weaknesses as a shield to protect themselves. 3. Culture - I saw a lot of diversity in terms of hiring, both oriental and cultural. There is no discrimination. They also are very big with celebrating festivals and events. 4. Mediclaim - Very vague but this is a good thing with good benefits.

...hreaten to terminate you despite you being unwell for their own selfish reasons. I was once told that they can hire 2 freshers in the salary they are offering me. You get only 1 sick leave every quarter and somehow you have to save it incase you fall sick (sarcasm) 6. Micromanagement - This shouldn't be a shocker as most corporations do this, but here they monitor your chats, the gossips you do in between breaks, they install a software in your laptops wherein they can track your hours. Sometimes if you're work is done before the shift ends, you have to give a justification. If you ever gossip about your TL, he/she will hold a personal grudge and make sure you're bombarded with irrelevant targets. 7. No Confidentiality - You can never trust people here. If you have a meeting in confidence with your HR about your manager, he/she will pressure the HR into telling him/her. Always have stuff in writing and not rely on verbal stuff. Thats all i can think of now. Honestly you will have to be thick skinned to work here as you'll be required to be vocal about things that bother you. If you're naive, they'll grill you left and right. The only good thing here is the training they provide for Google & Yahoo and that working with people in the States you'll brush up on your vocabulary and speaking skills. Rest there is absolutely nothing to be missed out on.

Teammates are supportive, cafeteria is fine.

There is a lot of politics and the management isn't transparent. Salary is decent but career growth is slow. Your work will be recognised only if you are a boot licker. Cultural events and fun games takes place but not everyone can participate in it. Transport is available but only till mid-way.
