1. Highly bureaucratic and the Indian management goes to a great extent to make mediocrity thrive.
2. Old processes and not open to take any new suggestions
3. Sexism is not even subtle - it is super explicit
4. Gender equality is a myth
5. Promotions are based on age, how long you are associated with firm rather than performance.
6. The culture is toxic and cannot grow to be a leader unless you keep the Indian management happy
7. The headquarters either has zero visibility or they are happy the way things run in India.
8. No great HR policies, I was asked in exit interview if my reason for leaving is "transactional". If yes, they can address it else they don't have anything to contribute for the betterment of the organisation - Not sure if that's how exit interviews are these days.
