Company has successfully implemented work from home within a week. The company has paid full salary during the three months of lock down. Management has successfully provided new project to people who have completed their old project. Work life balance has taken a dig during the pandemic. OT has been stopped since the lockdown. No talks about appraisal yet as it is just month of June.

Work life balance is not great as people say it is. Salary benefits can be improved, could include some allowances. Company should think about work from home model after lockdown.No transport facility.

Nothing much to like about the job. It is just a income generating job, nothing more than that.

Dislikes

Work culture, Norms followed, Compensation, hiring policy, the hiring model is not sustainable and if not corrected will soon lead to organization being sub par.

1. Salary is good. 2. Job security is also good. 3. Some of the senior colleagues are very supportive and cooperative. I've learned a lot from them. 4. Good place to start with.

Dislikes

1. Work-life balance is very bad in Kolkata office. There are some senior Project leads (not all) who care about the hours juniors are working rather than the quality output they are giving. They literally track the time period once their team members are not available at their desk. Office timing: 9:30 am - 6 pm. But, here working till 8 pm means you have worked, but if you leave from office within 6 - 6:30 pm, it means you haven't done anything, doesn't matter what your entry time is (9:30 or, 9 or, 9:45 or, 10 or, 8:45 pm). Only you need to show off. 2. Company culture is also poor. Seniors make rules and don't follow any of it. I felt very disturbed while working in a specific project. The team members were not supportive and they were very much prone to complaining each other instead of building trust. 3. Lack of flexibility in work.
