If a review has more than 2 stars, it's written by sycophants whose sole aim in life is to please the boss
Pros
I spent a little more than a year here (a miserable period) but I can't find a single good thing to write about them except that I met a few beautiful people who were unlucky enough to land at this place. Oh, yeah, the pay is decent. I'll make up for my brevity in this column by being more elaborate in the one below.
Cons
Culture - Non-existent. Professionalism - they haven't even heard of it. Work-life balance - yeah, right! Employee friendliness - don't kid yourself. Fair and equal treatment of all employees - don't expect it here, kiddo. Peers and colleagues - the kind of people you wouldn't want to be seen dead with. Out of 60, I'd say only about 5 are capable of holding an intelligible conversation (and no, the so called "management" isn't fit to be counted among these 5). All the decent people that I knew while I was there are either already out or are serving their 2 month notice periods. Their mentality is so sick that they didn't pay a week's salary to a pregnant lady because she could no longer come to work and serve her notice period. Another instance, a female complained that she'd like to leave before it gets dark as a group of men passed some lewd comments the previous night when she left from work around 8 pm. What happened? She had to put in her papers within a couple of days. Another former employee tells me they messed up her tax details, claiming in the filing that they paid her Rs. 20,000 more than what they actually did. She had not received a satisfactory response to the emails she sent, last I checked. What are they good at? Abusive, unprofessional language Producing low quality, heavily plagiarized work Slaver mentality Rude behaviour Constructing sentences which defy all laws of grammar Sucking the blood out of employees Making sure you pray to God (that there's no work on weekends) Coming up with new and senseless rules every second day Changing policies at the drop of a hat Turning a blind eye to sexist behaviour Making tall promises to clients and then trashing them the moment they are out of sight They have a 10-hour work policy. 9 hours of work and 1 hour of "break". They write in the contract that the salary would be credited by the 7th of the month, but 70% of the time, it is delayed. They claim they have flexi-work hours here. But what it actually means is that you gotta be at work between 9:30 and 10:30 am and then be VERY flexible with when you step out (won't be before 8 pm). 2 months of notice period. You have to work a month for free if you want to buy out. But trust me, you'd want to leave them so bad that you'd go, "Shut up and take my money." You'd find that the only people who are on good terms with the bosses are those who suck up to them. The COO responds only to NSFW jokes and sycophancy. The few 4 and 5-star reviews are courtesy those handful of people who would go up to her and show her what they've written to remain in her good books. I mean, who says it "breaks their heart" to see bad reviews about the place they work at? And is it just me or does every one who has written a high-rating review seem to be unable to find only ONE SINGLE bad thing about this place? (cab facility seems to be a unanimous demand across such reviews, perhaps due to lack of imagination). Some reviews have also been written using fake accounts, it's a digital marketing agency after all - they did try to do some online reputation management after a flurry of damaging but real reviews. Also, I can never call this place an "organization" because there is nothing organized about them. They hurtle from one crisis to another, surviving only through ad-hocism and quick-fixes and midnight oil burned by employees. One last disconcerting thing, the cleaning staff is all male, so the women employees often run into men in the washrooms.
