Pros

Breakfast or lunch daily. Free coffee/tea. Evening snacks. Work and life balance.

Cons
  • Attendance register to track login & logout, WFH & leaves.
  • Cannot carry laptop for first 10 days as there is no trust on the new joiners.
  • Very small pantry on the 29th floor is challenging at times.
  • All items are bought through the same vendor, which shows a highly manipulated system from Prolim & senior management.
  • Construction quality of the RIDOC is poor; however, the same vendor got the 2nd and 3rd orders too.
Advice to Management

Don't try to create Japanese culture in India.

Investigate what went wrong in choosing the new office building near Vidhan Soudha. Employees joined, hoping the commute would become easier.

India is becoming like a government office. Look into it at the earliest.
