Pros

The company initially fostered a fantastic culture during its first year. However, everything underwent a significant shift when a new management team assumed control.

Cons

Inadequate leadership, including CEOs, CFOs, and certain department heads lacking qualifications, has resulted in the poor management of the company. This has led to detrimental decision-making, with the newcomers often bearing the brunt of the consequences. A significant amount of money has been squandered by the management, some of which appears to have mysteriously vanished into their own pockets. They don’t know how to set targets, forecast, vision or anything. Furthermore, the company has been hiring unnecessary employees and inventing positions solely to portray an image of growth, despite the fact that there are team members who are already overwhelmed with a workload that exceeds their capacity and getting paid less and their efforts are unappreciated , Meanwhile, there are other unproductive team members , yet still receiving very high salaries and promotions just because they are friends to department lead and management

Pros

*Employee Discount: The finance department acts like a nosy neighbor, snooping on your purchases. If you're in their good books or hold a position of power, you can go on a carefree shopping spree. But if they decide to target you, it turns into a full blown interrogation about why you dare to use the discount. There's no clear limit to this privilege, and it's exclusively reserved for their chosen few. If they're going to implement such restrictions, the company should communicate them to everyone. *Shanti Day: Shanti Day, the supposed sanctuary for relaxation and unwinding. But don't be fooled! They keep their watchful eyes on you, questioning why you're not hustling like the rest. Can't a person catch a break without being subjected to an interrogation? *Work from Home Day: The supposed luxury of working from home. But guess what? They rain on your parade and make you feel like a slacker. They question your productivity as if you're on a vacation rather than diligently working from your own abode. *Pay is on time: Kudos for receiving your salary on time, but let's face it, that's the bare minimum. You dedicate extra hours like a workaholic, but do they bother to acknowledge your efforts by compensating you for overtime? Nope, not a single cent!

Cons

*Interview Process: During the interviews, the company will sweet talk you into believing it's the bee's knees. They'll promise mind blowing bonuses and perks to lure you in, only to lowball your salary. But once you're in, the reality hits like a sour lemon. *Bonuses: When bonus time rolls around, employees under probation get the cold shoulder, even when they've given their all. The contract clearly states that bonuses should start from the day you join, but HR conveniently forgets to pass on the memo that employees under probation are excluded. It's like anticipating a delicious treat, only to be left with a bitter aftertaste. *6-month Probation: The probation period stretches on like an eternity. No access to benefits like work from home and shanti and no permission to travel. It feels like being trapped in a never-ending limbo with the promise of a raise after probation slowly fading away. They conveniently forget everything they promised you. *Toxic Finance Team: The finance team has mastered the art of overstepping their boundaries. They crash meetings they have no business being in, nitpick your work in areas they know nothing about, and feel the need to share their opinions on everything under the sun. They even play the boss and assign tasks without consulting your line managers because they think they're in charge. Employees have raised concerns, but HR seems to be living in a blissful ignorance bubble due to their relationship. *Finance Police: The finance team dons the disguise of surveillance drones, constantly monitoring your every move. They track your comings and goings, meticulously clock your hours like hawks, and even time your breaks. It's as if they're always lurking, ready to pounce on any slip-up. If they catch a whiff of something they don't like, they waste no time tattling to HR. Unfortunately, HR's response to these shenanigans hasn't improved the sour atmosphere; it's like adding fuel to the fire. *HR's Hiring Practices: HR needs a crash course in Hiring 101. Their lack of fashion expertise has turned the company's culture into a fashion faux pas. They insist on bringing in individuals with no experience in the fashion field to lead departments, leaving everyone scratching their heads and undergoing endless cycles of restructuring and failed strategies. *HR Ignorance: Despite the glaring signs of a toxic environment and ongoing chaos, HR has perfected the art of cluelessness. They fail to effectively address employee concerns and put on a facade of working on improvements. Behind the scenes, things only go from bad to worse. This lack of honesty and communication creates a recipe for demoralization and a pervasive sense of being undervalued. *Firing Employees: One day you stroll into the office, and boom! Some of your colleagues have vanished into thin air. No explanations, no notifications just disappearance that leaves you wondering what on earth happened to them.
