...o Upskilling assistance, Senior HR asks an Engineer to work for a BPO process. No Salary Hike, Unfair rating and hikes, No meeting on performance or feedback from managers. Management tries to get things done for free, wont even spend on tools to work.

1. The work is satisfactory, no matter which client you work for. It's a young environment, so there is a lot of potential for good networking at an early age for freshers and students. 2. The upper management is so toxic that you will learn the art of self-advocating. If you can survive at Sutherland, you will eat the management alive at any other company. 3. There are 15-30-15-minute breaks with a timer running always. If you are a smoker, after three months at Sutherland, you will be faster than the flash to mark break on your computer, see the 15-minute timer begin, run to the entry of your floor, pass through the security gate of your floor (you can only pass through one after another, a minimum of 15 seconds per entry/exit), catch a lift with a minimum wait time of 5 minutes (because the lifts are substandard, at least one doesn't work every day), go to the entirely different other corner of the office, or outside the office (no other areas allow smoking), smoke, run back, again wait for the lift, pass through the gate, run to your work desk, enter your password, and mark break end. All of this should be done in 14 minutes and 59 seconds, or you will get a warning letter that stops any promotions for six months. You do this every day.

...but this hardly compensates for the prior lack of control over personal time. 2. Predatory Compensation and Subpar Resources: The pay packages at Sutherland are misleading and often exploitative. New hires rarely receive their full compensation during the initial four months, earning less than basic laborers. The company culture prioritizes cost-cutting over employee well-being, evident in the shared equipment and inadequate resources. Salaries, while supposedly paid on time, are frequently inaccurate and require significant effort to rectify. Travel allowances are minimal, leaving employees feeling undervalued and financially strained. 3. Illusory Job Security and Disrespectful Treatment: Despite claims of job security, Sutherland maintains an environment of fear, where even top performers can be abruptly dismissed without warning or justification. Employees can be terminated without a transparent process, escorted from the premises with a shocking lack of respect for their contributions. This disregard for employee dignity contributes to an atmosphere of insecurity and anxiety. Your pay slip will always be a joke, as such is my true and honest experience.

The team meets will be very nice and caring. Company will give tickets for amusement parks or some out door activities to make you relax once every 5 to 6 months of time. If you are a fresher and want to get a decent job and gain experience in bpo sector this might be good.

Dislikes

... permanent job, even though you have performed well they might fire you anytime. Transportation will be given one way, which is also not free they will take the amount from your salary. Morning shift will be good but other timings will not be safe for us especially if you are women. Work life balance will not be great due to the shift timings provided.
