This reflects my experience while working at the company and after leaving, especially while following up on pending payments. I also observed similar situations affecting other employees. A clearer understanding can be gained through independent research and direct conversations.
1. The company had been around for more than ten years, so it looked stable. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to join.
2. Things changed after probation. It was extended for almost 4 months without any clear explanation. Nothing was given in writing, just general reasons that were hard to understand.
3. Not long after probation extension, salary delays started. It began with a few days’ delay, then turned into weeks, and eventually continued for months.
4. Even during delays, work expectations did not reduce. Long hours were still expected, and deadlines remained the same. In meetings, employees were expected to take responsibility even for issues that were not fully under their control.
5. Whenever salary was brought up, the explanation was usually client issues or financial problems. At the same time, the company continued posting recruitment ads for multiple roles, and new joiners were receiving their salaries on time.
6. During this period, management often spoke about the company’s financial struggles and growth journey. Hearing this, some employees understood the situation and felt they should be patient and support the company during the difficult time, even though they were also facing personal financial stress.
7. Later, when salary was questioned again, the response was that no one had forced employees to support the company during its difficult time. When following up on pending dues, the responses sometimes felt dismissive.
8. When escalation or formal action was mentioned, the responses suggested that it might not lead to any real outcome. However, when asked to put the same position in writing, the tone changed and earlier statements were softened.
9. Even during personal emergencies, pending payments were not prioritized. At the same time, hiring activity continued, which made the situation difficult to accept.
10. Those who raised concerns about salary or decisions were sometimes treated as creating problems, in some cases including mine, calls were ended abruptly when questions were asked.
11. This also created imbalance within teams, as some employees, including newly hired staff in certain roles, were receiving regular pay while others were not. That situation added pressure within the reporting structure and made open communication harder.
12. After salary delays continued for more than a year in some cases, some employees, including me, were told there was no work and were asked to submit a resignation.
13. During this period, if company-provided systems had technical issues, employees were asked to pay for repairs themselves, with a promise of reimbursement later.
14. When resignation was submitted based on assurances that pending payments would be cleared, it was accepted.
15. However, there was still no clear timeline for receiving the pending salary. Experience letters and formal documents were also delayed.
16. In some situations, including mine, when employees said they would return the company system only after full payment, we were informed that new work had become available and were asked to continue in a support role.
17. The support work was completed, but payment was again delayed, with the explanation that the client had discontinued the module.
18. At that stage, multiple payments were still pending, including salary, support work payment, and reimbursement for system repairs.
19. Despite this, there was pressure to return the company system immediately. It was difficult to refuse, since the same management is responsible for background verification feedback.
20. In some cases, after months of chats, calls, and emails, payments were eventually cleared, but rarely within the originally proposed timelines. In my case, it took several months, while for some others it took nearly a year for payments to be fully cleared, and employees had to personally follow up multiple times to track their pending amounts.
