Organization is in experimental phase with zero sop.Sop are yet to defined and for that organisation is using there employees as an experiment samples . Despite of all the ownership which is being given to you you will still find many restriction while performing them . The middle management works worse here .They themselves are not aware of what to do and how to move forward .They may ask you to do some unexpected things to get the results.If you can survive all ,you may do wonders but the attrition rate is quite high which give the justification for itself .
