phData Reviews

Worst Work-Life balance ever: forget about your family, friends, loved ones even on weekends, Indian public holidays, US public holidays. Keep everything aside and think about phdata only. This is the way they want people to work here. Somedays it seems similar to feeling very sick and unable to do day-to-day activities. Let me try to give an example, let's assume you were sick with jaundice or typhoid for couple of months and you feel so hopless in life that you feel like you neither care about earning extra nor earning respect, all you want to be is like a normal people who can do day-to-day activities. I sometimes miss my previous employers badly who did not give good hikes, but did not have shifts and have peaceful weekends and public holidays. They did not give hint while joining that there will be shifts. I am not sure if this will be heard or understood by the management, I am even ready to take a lesser pay instead of working on shifts. The way management speaks, it is either work in shift or leave the company. In all hands meeting top management mentions Indian team is very critical for their success and they appreciate as well. But ground reality is that US employees gets to go to the movies and sport events or even have a picnic outside the office and also get to take their family members and all that the Indian employees get is shift allowance and double shift allowance for working on a holiday (US or India).Do you think that we deserve something better? Only time we go out is when the US team visits India. Sincere request to US Management - keep visiting us often. Feedback from one ex-colleague has made me feel insecure at work that I am extremely cautious at work that I hesitate to speak with my own colleagues and my team. Approachability is only in words.

Cons: There is no any major shortcoming at such but to be honest with you company is growing and as companies grow they can not run the same way, so there are changes in all aspects, more policies, rules, governance models and as a human psychology we find it difficult at times but that is true for any organisation or even a project.
