Remote work, caring - Admissions Counselor Lawctopus Employee Review

NOTE: This review seems by a competitor organization. Anyway, I'll still respond. 1. They say flexible work hours but you need to be available mandatorily from 10-6 and sometimes most of the times beyond that too. - No. One just needs to be available for meetings and calls on time. 2. Delay in salary: Paid mostly on 5 or 6th of the month. Some people have EMIs and other bills to pay, no consideration for that. - The contract says that the salaries will be deposited by the 7th. Mostly, they are deposited by the 2nd. 3. Extremely toxic work environment and micromanagement: No breathing space for the employees. Top management will sit on your head and micromanage everything you do. - LOL. A person's head is too small to make for an okish seating space. We usually sit on chairs. 4. Unnecessary expectations: Will pay in peanuts and expect you to work 14-15 hours a day. - We expect(ed) 8-9 hours of work. Now, it's reduced to 7. Because we believe it takes time to switch off and on from tasks. 5. Biasness towards men: Top management is sexist and women are looked down upon. The biasness towards a particular person is very evident when it comes to promotions and increments. - We have more women employees. 6. Late night emails and messages: sometimes you receives emails and messages at 3:00 AM and asked for updates late night too. - Late night emails and messages, yes. Because people work at different hours. But you aren't supposed to respond there and then. No one is aked to update late at night. 7. Weekends working with no proper compensatory off. - Saturdays are half-days and Sundays off for the content team. Sundays are half-day and Mondays off for the learning team. No ONE is told to work on off-days unless there's an emergency (once in a blue moon). 8. Weird leave structure. - It's as simple as it can get. One is given 30 days of leave in a year. You can take them whenever. 9. Trickle down of work from the CEO to juniors is not organised. - Perhaps this can be better. But Basecamp as a tool makes it super easy for us to stay organised as a team. 10. No HR in place. COO is the HR and this creates a huge void in employee satisfaction. - A team of 20 doesn't need a full-time HR. We'll soon have one though. 11. Employees are pretty much treated as slaves and on call peons just because they are paid. - Employees are treated as family. :) Do we err sometimes? Sure.
