1. Work-Life Balance is Nonexistent
You are expected to be online late nights and weekends without compensation or comp-off.
There is constant pressure from clients, and your personal time is never respected.
2. Pathetic Management and Leadership
Middle managers are poorly skilled, insecure, and only interested in pleasing clients.
No support from leadership when you're stuck or overworked — you're left to fend for yourself.
3. HR is Powerless and Dishonest
HR makes promises they can’t keep and disappears when you raise genuine concerns.
Exit experience is hostile — expect delays in documents, F&F, and unnecessary deductions.
4. Extremely Low Salary Growth
Annual hikes are between 5–7% max, even for top performers.
Variable pay is often withheld with arbitrary excuses about project margins or client feedback.
5. 90-Day Notice Period is a Trap
You will be forced to serve the full period, regardless of project status.
Managers intentionally delay releases to keep billing going and make transition harder.
6. No Real Benefits or Perks
No leave encashment, meal benefits, or performance-linked bonuses.
Insurance coverage is bare minimum, and claim processes are difficult and slow.
7. Bench Policy is Brutal and Disguised
If you're unallocated for more than 2–3 weeks, they initiate silent exits under “performance” tags.
No active support for internal transfers; you're on your own and blamed if nothing clicks.
8. Accolite University is a Meaningless Gimmick
Training is outdated, unstructured, and not aligned with actual work requirements.
Learning sessions are often forced outside working hours, without value addition to roles.
9. Fake Positive Reviews Inflate Online Reputation
HR and managers create fake Glassdoor reviews to boost company ratings during hiring seasons.
Genuine reviews with criticism are suppressed or reported to maintain a false image.
10. Freshers are Misled and Exploited
Bond and bonus offers are traps — they claw everything back when you resign.
Conversions are delayed intentionally, and non-billable freshers are quietly fired.
11. Post-Merger Situation Has Gotten Worse
Zero clarity in roles, sudden policy changes, and rising attrition post-Bounteous merger.
Internal communication is chaotic, with managers themselves unsure about direction.
12. You're Just a Billable Resource, Not an Employee
Projects are mostly client-augmentation roles with no real learning or ownership.
You're treated like a replaceable asset, not a skilled professional.
13. Toxic Workplace Culture
High favoritism, politics, and blame game — merit means nothing.
Those who butter up management get away with incompetence; others are scapegoated.
14. No Career Growth or Long-Term Vision
No defined career paths or mentorship for engineers or leads.
Promotions are arbitrary and delayed, often based on internal politics instead of merit.
