...There is no policy for working extra. They will give only 250rs. No recognition. They just want more work and wants to pay less salary.

Absolute gas. Micromanagement over helicopter management. All smoke and mirrors with big promises but no show on reveal.

Dislikes

...company is great to switch roles. This is not true and they do not entertain it. 2) Salary is negotiated like people at the vegetable market. They will either match your current salary or provide a pathetic increase over your current salary(have seen some cases where a lower salary is offered). You will probably join thinking the name has value. Well this one does not. Do not fall for this. Drop the call or discussion and move on to the next company. 3)Let's say you have now joined by mistake and are now working for peanuts. The client who you work for is probably paying for you 2X/4X of the salary you are earning which the company is probably hogging on your behalf. Now comes the fun bit where, you have to satisfy both the customer as well as the company in your yearly performance reviews and KPIs. So you technically have to do 1.5x~2x of a job to see a decent appraisal. Lets say you have made the customer very happy and he offers you a very good hike(which you do not know about of course). Company comes to you and says you need to contribute a lot more to the company just to earn what is rightfully yours. You wont get that percentage you are looking for and the company eats your customer sent bonus as well. They maintain a nice juicy margin and all you see is peanuts all the while being told you are not working to your full potential. Gaslighting ninja techniques. 4) This one has been told to me by multiple sources: Pretty shady hiring practices where referral bonuses are not delivered to the rightful referrers and are hidden under well concocted company policies. You might think that yay, i might get a nice bump this month but no the HR is probably gobbling up the money in your stead and hardwork. (So technically the resume is hidden and the candidate is hired at a later date without your knowledge. Pretty standard low level move) 5) Solutions to all your problems: Work from office is looking to make a full return and with this comes the management ninja techniques of why the company has all the solutions to problems that lead to you not being able to come to the office. a)Parents unwell?: Life is full of pain. Better to come to office and forget home problems b) Travel time too long?: other people come to office just to escape their wives. So you should too. c) Need work life balance?: We provide so much balance by hosting office events on the weekends and then including your attendance of them in your KPIs for appraisal. No idea which diabolical piece of work thought up this one. Man i don't know if you need more convincing. I had high hopes for this place but no. Kindly miss.
