...ciation. This leads to leaving employees out of company even after working hard. Appraisal is not always good and variable pay is bad component.

...our family things. Also, half day leave is also considered, which is excellent. Pay scale is also as per market but they initially make a bond of 2 years keeping your 5-10 % salary which you get after year completion like 1st year and then 2nd year. Job security is great. Although you miss any project then they can shift you in their other projects. Remember this is growing product based company, so ultimately they have lot of project to carry. Appraisals are also average, but promotion is very bad thing here as some old employees keeping their chairs tight and they are mostly preferred for promotions though they are less in experience than new joiners.

Bond of 2 years to pay you complete in hand salary. They keep 5-10 % of your CTC and will give you at end of your 1st and 2nd year. Appraisals and promotions are not based on your previous experience but your current experience in company.Mostly promotions are given to old employees here though they are overall less experienced than new joiners.

...a, even 1 day in a quarter is fine as long as manager doesn't have any issues 3) Salary is good especially for freshers or 4-5 years experienced 4) Internship programs with good stipend, and interns are considered for hiring whenever freshers are required 5) Job is not stressful. Many employees are satisfied with their salary and work-life balance and plan to retire from this company. 6) Admin and IT team is supportive with quick responses.

Dislikes

Lack of growth and performance is the biggest red-flag. 1) Lack of proper performance evaluation system. Managers rate whatever they feel and have a preoccupied notion of their team members. 2) Promotion depends on your manager rather than skills, tenure, and performance. A 4-yr experienced and a 12-yr experienced employee can be at the same job role. 3) While they boast about good IJP programs, they won't give more than 10% hike in internal job movements whereas will offer 30% or more for external candidates for same roles. 4) Even IJP program is not very good, as teams prefer to hire external candidates even when they have suitable team members in their own teams. Have noticed this as the main criteria of employees leaving due to job dissatisfaction and lack of trust from management. 5) Employees' contributions in additional responsibilities such as sports committees, CSR responsibilities, etc. has zero value as they aren't considered during promotions and appraisals. 6) Few teams have team members following hybrid policy regularly whereas some of their team members are completely working remotely. Even in these scenarios, there are no browny points to employees who visit office and naturally have more collaboration and are given more responsibilities in team activities because they are physically present. There is absolutely no benefit to employees who follow 2-days in office than their teammates who have the privilege of working remotely full-time. 7) Performance bonus percentage is not good since 2022. 8) WFH policy is not same across the company as few teams come to office hardly 2-3 times a month, whereas many teams are adamant about 2-3 days in the office with no exceptions. 9) HR is almost non-existent. There are neither skip-level meetings nor any regular employee engagement sessions (except annual survey forms).
