...licy. Sudden change in decision without any prior notice. No work life balance. AVP Scam - Even working for complete financial year they do not give you complete variable pay. Almost 6 months of Variable pay remains with company when you left. UPL is slowly decreasing its fame & rapport due to its untimely changes in policy, because of which employees are getting suffered. Also, Increments & Promotions are like peanuts 🥜. I would suggest not to join such organization which is ethical & not in favour of Employees.
