A Masterclass in Employee Exploitation Disguised as “Social Impact” - Senior Associate CSRBOX Employee Review

1. The organisation can provide employment opportunities for people who urgently need a job or are trying to enter the sector. 2. Exposure to projects and field-level work is possible during the tenure.

1. The organisational culture operates in a highly top-down manner, with most decisions centralized and little room for employee voice or professional autonomy. 2. Roles and expectations communicated during hiring often differ significantly from the actual work assigned. 3. Employees are largely treated as replaceable resources rather than valued professionals. Career growth or merit recognition is limited unless one aligns closely with senior leadership. 4. The Head Office environment feels excessively restrictive, with unnecessary monitoring of employee behaviour, informal moral policing, and practices such as seat rotations that reduce workplace comfort. 5. HR processes lack transparency. Salaries are typically delayed until around the 7th of the month, and salary slips are not routinely shared unless specifically requested and justified. 6. Statutory employee benefits such as PF or gratuity were not provided during employment. 7. Workplace dynamics are heavily influenced by a small group close to leadership, leading to inconsistent decision-making and a difficult work environment depending on internal relationships. 8. Public-facing communication and social media visibility present a much more positive image than the internal work culture experienced by employees. 9. Very high attrition, with employees frequently leaving within a short period, indicating low retention.

There aren’t any pros of working here

It is basically a school with a Principal, a couple of head boys and head girls and some class monitors. Basically a hell! You will never know who your manager is. CEO is a typical micro manager and very fickle minded. So leadership here is all about what CEO says yes or no to. Anything at anytime can be YOUR FAULT! You just never know with this company. There is no structure and it’s highly toxic place with all kinds of toxic corporate practices.
