I won't sugarcoat my experience at BayOne—it was one of the most disappointing phases of my professional career.
What was once a company with potential has deteriorated significantly. A guy from Aditi Consulting, His decisions and self-serving management have damaged what used to be a well-functioning portfolio. Instead of supporting employees and driving growth, many decisions appear to be made solely to protect management interests, regardless of the impact on recruiters and delivery teams.
The incentive policy is a perfect example. It was imposed on recruiters without meaningful discussion, consultation, or consideration of employee feedback. To make matters worse, my Full & Final settlement was withheld behind questionable policy interpretations, adding unnecessary frustration to an already unpleasant exit experience.
The HR practices were equally baffling. Expecting a US IT Recruiter to continue knowledge transfer for 30 days while simultaneously creating obstacles during separation reflects a complete disconnect from industry standards. The organization operates with the mindset of a traditional "Lala Company" while attempting to project the image of a professional MNC. Unfortunately, the reality and the branding are worlds apart.
The infrastructure is substandard, and even basic employee comfort and security seem to be an afterthought. Concerns around safety in the surrounding area only add to the negative experience.
The work culture is perhaps the biggest disappointment. Favoritism appears to outweigh merit, and long-standing internal groups create an environment where professional contribution often matters less than personal relationships. If you're not willing to play politics or flatter the right people, you're likely to find yourself on the outside looking in.
And honestly, this barely scratches the surface. There are numerous other concerns regarding management, employee treatment, transparency, and workplace culture that would take pages to fully describe.
My advice to anyone considering joining: do your research carefully. Explore other opportunities, speak with current and former employees, and think twice before making a decision. A job offer may look attractive on paper, but the reality can be very different once you're inside.
