Outline India Reviews

To begin with, the founder doesn’t trust anyone she hires and micro-manages every mail that needs to go out and she will never leave an opportunity to be condescending, rude, mean, abusive to you. The organisation fails to build even a below average employ base even after 10 years of its existence. I think the senior management (which basically means 2 people) really need to self reflect rather than just shining their pretentious fake personalities on linkedin. Except literally 4 people and the founder there is barely anyone I found who was working in the organisation for more than 4 months. People just keep coming and going because no one can stand the abuse and trauma they go through. Ironically, the founder who works for a social impact firm doesn’t have any understanding of mental health. The organisation also believes in violating human rights left right and centre. Also, just a heads up all these positive reviews that you see on glassdoor are all fake they are staged by the communications team to make the organisation appear not that bad. There are literal discussions about adding up “glassdoor testimonials”

To start off, this is not a research organization, it is a data collection agency. You'll hardly ever be doing anything research related. It is mostly data collection and some basic data management. So, although some positions are advertised as 'research' based, have a realistic expectations that you'll predominantly be a glorified field manager and proposal writer. . The organization has extremely high turnover rate, which is kind of clear by always having open positions on offer, even though the organization does not grow. For my one year at the organiztaion, at least 12-15 people have both joined and left/fired. Although the company size remained constant at 20, by the end of the year, I was probably 7th most senior employee in the organization. Basically most people who work here are (presumably) constantly looking for other opportunities and leave the moment they find something. . Work environment is extremely toxic. You'll not be given any time to learn the ropes and be shouted at if you can't do thing the way they do at Outline. You're expected to work after hours without any recognition. Some employees who work at weekends and during leaves are praised publically to instill that as a model. It is 9 hour workday and you'll have no work-life balance. . The upper management (and especially the director) is very problematic; she is extremely impatient, arbitrary and impulsive. It was far easier to interact with clients than the boss. You're likely to develop PTSD if you have to deal with her closely.
