Proptiger Reviews

Cons

Nothing so alarming. You just need to get your act right. Sluggish behaviour may not be tolerated.

Cons

This post is mostly relevant to people looking to join the HR team in Proptiger. Have you also heard of Proptiger HR team has something wrong in their culture? I had heard similar things and ignored because I got desperate. Remember whoever joined Proptiger HR Team, they got really desperate. Join here if you want to spoil your CV. Please don’t think of it as a time-gap arrangement because trust me it’s not worth it. There’s something more than fishy in here.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE -
When you go to their careers page, they have very clearly written what they expect. Here it goes:

“At Proptiger, people blur the distinctions between play, work and creativity every day. At work, we don’t count hours; we are busy attacking challenges. We don’t notice if it is day or night, black or white or blue”

They literally mean it. They have absolutely zero work-life balance. Fact of the matter is, most of the folks there don’t even have a passion and if you do have a passion, you will forget it after joining there. They tell you it’s a 5-day working week but the CHRO himself will check if you went office or not on a Saturday. Even if you have to be away from your Laptop on a Sunday, you have to write a mail saying you will not be available. They called me on the evening of my birthday for a review call when I clearly told I won’t be available and didn’t even wish me. That’s how much they care for you.

SUFFOCATION -
The review calls, the conference discussions, the meetings - they’re so bad that they will make you feel suffocated. You will find people reading your emails and answering the calls on your phone in your absence just to “link” you up with other guys/girls just to be funny. The team offsites - worst part about them is that you have to pay around 10-15k per trip from your own pocket. They try to sell it saying you’re getting to o for 25k worth of a trip for like 15k. First off, who even wants to go? If you say no, they take your case. You will get multiple rude calls. If you want to be in their good books, you HAVE to go. Also, they’re very sarcastic and they gossip a lot and they try really hard to be funny.
They are very frugal. They will bog you down with so much irrelevant, operational, mundane and non-productive work - like forcing employees to fill some random surveys, like tasting food from 3-4 vendors for employee engagement activities but zeroing down on the vendor that is the cheapest price wise. You will have to hire a lot every month and if by any chance your region doesn’t have a lot of hiring for the month, they will use your bandwidth for other regions. If at all you manage to stay beyond six months then you get to see the appraisal cycle. They will fight for every rupee during initial negotiation and tell you your salary will be hiked soon. They will set unreasonable goals for you to achieve a 5-star rating. No one has ever received a 5-star rating and hikes are useless. To add to all of this, they also fire people by manipulating with their own policies. There is so much micromanagement and favoritism that you have to be a bootlicker of the CHRO if you don’t want to be fired.

Conclusion - Everyone is always so overworked in Proptiger because they are understaffed to suffocation. They are understaffed because of high attrition. High attrition is because of the bad work-culture and ofcourse also because they don’t pay well. It’s a cycle. You will see HR folks leaving in less than 6 months which says a lot.
