Management:
Management is entirely influenced by the Decision Maker. They rarely make independent decisions and often follow orders blindly, with little regard for employee well-being.
Bond Policy:
Freshers are required to sign a 2.5 year bond and the company retains there 12th grade mark sheet. Breaking the bond requires either paying six months salary or facing legal action
Experienced employees face a 1 year bond after every increment. If you decline the same penalty applies.
Performance Reviews & Increment
During appraisal cycles HR highlights only negative feedback making employees feel undervalued. this justifies offering minimal or no salary hikes. There also clear favouritism employees close to HR receive significant increments while hard working individuals are overlooked.
Surveillance Culture
Time tracking software like TIME DOCTOR is installed on all systems. It take screenshots every minute, Which are reviewed by Decision Maker and HR. There is zero privacy and extreme micromanagement. They are using zoom to communication, so Decision maker has all the access sometime its reading the Employees personal chats, after that targets the employees.
Work life Balance:
Practically non-existent. 12 hr workdays are common. At a same time working on 3-4 projects normal. While you're expected to arrive on time, leaving on time is frowned upon.
"Come on time but don't leave on time" seems to be the unofficial policy.
Weekend work Pressure:
Every two weeks, there a meeting where the Decision Maker instructs seniors to ask juniors to work on Sat, even there is no urgency. This forced overtime is demoralising and unnecessary.
Credit and Recognition
Its not uncommon for seniors to take credit for the work of juniors. This discourage initiative and team spirit.
Office Politics:
Despite claims of a politics free culture internal Favouritism and manipulation are prevalent often initiated by leadership.
If Someone makes a mistake the Decision Maker publicly taunts them during meeting - sometimes even sarcastically, Later when addressing others the Decision Maker gives that persons example and says I am not naming anyone while clearly referring to them.
After experiencing everything from bonds favouritism micromanagement forced overtime to public humiliation disguised as feedback, I can confidently say this company provides a full package of what no to do in corporate culture. If you're looking to grow be respected and maintain your mental health you might want to look elsewhere.
but hey if you enjoy 12 hr workdays (as already some people doing :), being tracked every minute and getting motivational taunts from Decision maker -- this might just be your dream job.
Otherwise company is very good.
