Flexible working hours, work from home benefits, and a good work-life balance.

No proper project planning from management.

Layoffs.

There is no policy of yearly hikes. So even if you have worked really well, there are chances you might not get a hike. If you do get a hike, it may take more than a year to see the salary change. Last time, there was a hike after 1.5 years, and not everyone was considered. Even the top-rated employees weren't given a hike.

Recent major changes in upper management impacted product planning significantly. This left middle managers in tricky situations, as they have no experience handling this added responsibility.

There is no forum to raise concerns about our managers with higher management. They have a very poor way of speaking with employees.

Too much bias. People who have lunch and spend time with managers are in their good books. They are given faster promotions and more hikes, even though others are doing better work.

Have a channel to fetch feedback from team members of middle-level managers and take it seriously. Otherwise, a day will come when no one will want to work and just spend their time at the office doing nothing.

Take a serious step for yearly hikes, especially for Indian employees.
