...s . Since majority stake are of founders , it is typically lala kind of company. It has the age old mentality of maximum work and peanut kinda salary. Morever , it is nowhere with regards work profile , pay , leadership and positive work culture when you compare it with its other peer companies like Cipla , Lupin , Dr Reddy , Biocon, Glenmark , Mankind , etc . Toxic HR work culture , HR can't even speak proper English , they speak in gujarati , high attrition rates and biased working ways are prominent , they believe in buttering the people at top to get brownie points and neglect the juniors and make them feel irrelevant . Very stingy and poor paymasters. Founders have money to spend heavily for their personal luxury car buying , splurging on the crap foundation day function , for celebrating Chairman & MD's birthday functions , but not to the employees who give blood and sweat and work very hard for the company . The only thing HR is concerned is about bring talent at as low cost as possible One of the worst thing is they don't do proper handover to the incoming person when a person leaves the organization , burdens them with mountain of work and squeezes the talent completely. Also , Zydus is very much in news for non adhering to USFDA guidelines and getting strict warnings from them , they have breached quality control numerous times , have produced substandard quality of drugs.
