Terrible work ethics, Unnecessary pressure, Zero work life balance - Data Sceientist FPL Technologies Employee Review

1. Data Science is one of the worst departments, 1st of all its a misnomer. If you really want to build career in data science or advance analytics DO NOT join FPL. You will end up doing simple analysis in excel or spss in the name of data science. 2. All the work is reaction to pressure from banks and management doesn't plan for long term solution. 3. Irrational deadlines are imposed without considering the scope and long term effects. Management is more interested in quick-fix/band-aid solution rather than long term. 4. No scope for making mistakes, hence less opportunity to learn and explore new ideas. 5. There is no work culture or work ethics, management does not know how to get work done from lazy employees, hence lot of work is put on sincere employees. 5. No work life balance, people are often encouraged and praised to work extra hours and weekends instead of doing their work during office hours. 6. No time flexibility at all, no work from home. 7. Toxic work environment, people who have been with this company for longer are very toxic, unhelpful. Maybe side effects of being in this company for longer. 8. People don't respect each other's time, meetings never start/end at expected times. 9. Taking vacation days is frowned upon. 10. Too much micro-management, if you don't trust people you have hired either don't hire them or improve your hiring process.
