Cons

It has been a painful journey right from my onboarding until my offboarding and even during my tenure. I am saying this because I believe I have dealt with both the HR department and the technical department managers.

Onboarding:

The recruiters (if only I could reveal their names) never address your queries; they never pick up your call. They offered me a low pay without any negotiations to start with. In the onboarding, you will be told that the culture is super strong, but it is not; it is pathetic.

Work/Tenure:

You are just limited to doing meager work, and no one really cares about your personal growth, although they will keep on emphasizing that this is for your own benefit. They expect you to work unconditionally because you are getting paid (xyz amount) for it.

Offboarding:

It will be completely and solely your responsibility to courier the laptop, and if you faced any problem doing that, then good luck with that, as no one from IT/HR is really approachable. You will have to write emails to get any kind of help.

Advice to Management

None, it's a sinking ship.

Advice for the people who are joining:

  • If you have a better offer, don't join.
  • Don't think that since it's a brand, it will help you.
  • It's not a dream company; it's a nightmare (long working hours, support work, untalented/conservative managers). Basically, you have no one to go to in case of problems.
