Pros

Allowed to wear casual wear to office

Cons

I have never seen employees turnover on such a mammoth scale in any other organisation. Over the course of one year, nearly 70% of the employees have left the organisation primarily due to rude behaviour by upper management. Staff who have survived for long are usually the ones who basically spend more time gossiping around and defending themselves rather than working in a transparent and friendly environment. A classic example of workplace bullying is displayed throughout the organization giving the minimal scope of either raising your concern or addressing your grievances. To make matter worst, using foul language is rampant and no one seems to be bothered about it or even if they do, they are all too terrified to be vocal about it . The dysfunctional HR department hardly amends the policy or are simply not given enough authrority to devise a conducive environment to make the office more employee friendly. Amidst the disturbing and disrespectful behaviour portrayed by the organisation leaders, constant demotivating emails only aggravates to stressful work-life imbalance. PS-Please doesn't believe the positive reviews written out here , as it is endorsed by top management working in this organisation. Everyone wants to be recognized and rewarded for a job well done, sadly enough good employees are underlooked and undermined which is more of a tradition in this organisation. The upper management, in general, lack a compassionate touch and EQ to provide constructive coaching and feedback to motivate the employees to do better than their previous performance, rather in retrospect, feedbacks are given in front of everyone and the managers usually raise their voice if any subordinate question thier authority. The managers are known to micromanage to the level of minutia. Micromanagers appear insecure regarding their employees’ ability to perform their jobs without the manager directing every move. Management’s constant reorganization, changing direction and shuffling people around disconnects employees from the organization’s purpose. Employees don’t know what’s going on, what the priorities are or what they should be doing. This causes frustration leading to confusion and inefficiencies.
