• Toxic work culture prevalent in many departments.
• Directors and above in India mostly put their interests in front of everything else, resulting in an unfair and toxic environment.
• There is no uniform criteria for growth and promotion across different departments.
• HR (known as P&C) is a major issue. Instead of being an enabler, they mostly play the role of disruptors and are always firefighting people issues.
• Future is uncertain with no clear long-term plans for continued work after the new market launches. A sizable reduction may happen.
• Clear message from management to not expect promotions every cycle.

• Clean up toxic senior management (Directors +).
• P&C role needs to be redefined to enable people to work better and improve the work culture, rather than always firefighting people issues. More senior people are needed on the P&C roles.
• Senior management should walk the talk, leading from the front when enforcing policies like work from office.
