Looks good from the outside - Anonymous employee Apadmi Employee Review

1. Insufficient Onboarding Process: One of the most pressing concerns is the inadequate onboarding process. From the onset, new employees are rushed onto projects without receiving proper orientation or training. This lack of a structured onboarding program leaves new joiners feeling unprepared and overwhelmed, affecting their performance and confidence. 2. Rushed Project Assignments: New employees are expected to dive into complex projects almost immediately after joining. Without a thorough understanding of Apadmi's internal processes, methodologies, and client expectations, this approach sets up new hires for failure rather than success. A more phased introduction to projects would allow employees to acclimate and contribute effectively. 3. Blame Culture: A pervasive blame culture further exacerbates the challenging onboarding experience. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, there is a tendency to point fingers when issues arise. This culture is counterproductive and demoralizing, particularly for new employees who are still navigating the company's ways of working. 4. Misaligned Expectations: New joiners are not given a fair chance to demonstrate their capabilities. There is an immediate and often unrealistic expectation for new employees to perform at full capacity without allowing adequate time to learn and adapt to Apadmi's unique working environment and client needs. This misalignment leads to premature and often harsh judgments about their performance. 5. Lack of Support: While there are colleagues who are genuinely willing to help new hires settle in, the overall environment does not support this. The pressure to perform quickly and the blame culture undermine the efforts of these supportive colleagues, making it difficult for new employees to feel secure and valued.
