Pros

1. Intentions of CEO is really good 2. High value product 3. Salaries are good as per market 3. Green room where you can relax & have meetings 4. No salary cuts during COVID

Cons

This COVID situation is becoming big hurdle for job change else I had many bad experience in one bcg. I am sharing few - 1. Favoritism - Those in management have their 1-2 favorite resources in every department. They only listen to them for anything even they make mistake others are considered as faulty. 2. CEO is very good but he trust too much on few top level management so not aware what is going on in teams and management hide their mistakes for which they even have to fire people 3. My friend resigned few years back as he got good offer from fis but because he shared this news with few friends he was threatened to not give him all papers and pending salary as this may lower the confidence of other people. Seriously ? If this is the case, build good confidence in current employees that they should not leave instead of harrasing someone. 4. No increment for senior people. Can't senior people work like others. If business is down due to covid, do same for everyone why only us. No reasoning is there for this statement. 5. They are saying that we are not firing any people on email but behind scenes they are asking people to resign with no proper reasoning. And this is not with covid only as they have done this with many people in past it's like their ritual first they take work from you and then fire with no reason. I am saved as of now but i know few friends. They first put you on internal project which is of no use actually and change requirements frequently, then say you have done nothing. Why management don't accept they don't plan good ? 6. No work life balance - We have to work till 8,9,10 or sometimes till 12-1 but if we are late by 30 mins or leaving 10 mins early we got intimation like we comminted a crime. And this is what happen in it company is response if you ask why.

We appreciate all feedback, it helps us improve and communicate better with our team. It’s unfortunate that you are facing a difficult time, we would like to take this opportunity to clarify some gaps between your understanding and the actual practices in place. We have adopted best practices across the business including evaluations, we constantly seek to improve these. We use data and a 360-degree feedback system to eliminate things like favouritism in the system. Time to time our CEO conducts skip-level meetings to better understand views of members across all different levels and operations. If you have any concerns, you can reach out to the CEO directly, an online form is available if you wish to share anonymous feedback. During Covid-19, we have ensured that our employees are not impacted, no salary cuts for anyone in the company and 95% of the team members are getting increments as usual. Only the senior member’s promotions/increments will be put on hold until the end of this year, this impacts less than 5% of our employees. If you are in the 5% bracket, we hope you will understand the business need and how important it is to support all the members. As you might be aware our CEO and CTO have taken 100% pay cuts themselves for 2020. We try our best to hire the right people and only due to lack of performance we would ever ask a person to leave. In our 20 year history, we have never laid off employees, in fact, if you check the job portals, we are still hiring for certain positions. We already have a system in place to identify members who work beyond the regular business hours, we reward them with time off and also find solutions so they are able to maintain a work-life balance. We recognize and highlight their efforts through our recognition programs. If you are still working with us, please come and speak with us, you can directly reach out to the CEO and highlight any concerns. You can also reach him anonymously via email and contact us form. We care about you and are committed to transforming your difficult experience into a positive one. Thanks again for your comments.
