Toxic workplace

Pros

Located in an area where the stay is comparatively cheaper than other areas of Bangalore. Honestly there are barely any pros that can make a difference

Cons

It’s honestly one of the most toxic workplaces I have come across. There is constantly yelling and disrespect from upper management is totally normalised. You cannot approach the India HR. The HR team is not people oriented to discuss any employee issues There are strict biometrics to check login logout timings Doesn’t involve any employee engagement activities inspite of forcing employees to come 5 days to office. Absolutely no work life balance. Management is rude No diversity in terms of age. You find only 40+ years old employees There is an expectation to work even during your vacations The ones who are rated in high performance are not because of their merit but because of their overworking willingness It’s not an open door policy There is a LOT MORE. It’s a very strict culture Please research on LinkedIn, you’ll find high attrition. My only request is reach out to people on LinkedIn who have left soon and ask them their reasoning. Everything would point to management and strict work culture.

Pros

Partial Work-life balance. Though the average work in a day is optimum, you are expected to extend work hours and work on the weekends & Shifts

Cons

Though the company claims to be Product based, the internal operations, HR policies and behaviour is similar to a BPO. The HR policies described during the interview process and while joining were totally different HR is least bothered about employees. Opening of offices during Sept 2020 when there were no facilities such as cafeteria, shuttle were available at tech park & Not recommending WFH during the second wave until state government has put restrictions is the best example
