Pros

Initially things were good here but now there's nothing positive

Cons

The most prominent issue I have with SKIDOS is micromanagement. The lack of trust and freedom can suffocate and hamper productivity and creativity. Feeling valued as an employee is hard when your every move is scrutinized. They imposed salary deductions which have been a significant cause for concern. 15-25% pay cuts without any appraisal or justification are demoralizing and difficult to bear even when forcing people to come back to office, especially when there’s no sign of improvement in the near future. The company is grappling with financial difficulties. While this is not unusual, blaming employees for these challenges can create a hostile work environment and further lower morale. Job security is virtually non-existent here. The atmosphere is filled with uncertainty, significantly affecting employee morale and productivity. The workspace is not only inadequate but also needs more basic facilities. The company operates from a residential setup, which does not provide a conducive environment for professional work. The overall work culture can be described as toxic and unhealthy. There is a lack of respect and understanding between employees and management, which has led to low morale and motivation among the staff. Rather than addressing employees’ concerns seriously, the company responded to negative reviews by fabricating positive ones.
