Good company until your appraisal is done - Software Engineer Aziro Employee Review

Good Pay until your appraisal is done. After appraisal, my in-hand salary becomes less. Consider an example, I have some package which is fixed and no variable pay. After appraisal, hike is 1% (After working on weekends, late nights calls, lapsing leaves which they didn't allow you to take, working on holidays, etc.). So, package might increase around 20K. Then they introduce 1 LPA variable (20K from annual hike + 80K from my existing CTC which is fixed before appraisal), which is paid half yearly. So, my in hand salary becomes less after appraisal. And 1 more fun fact, a new clause added to my employment as below: In case, if you leave the company within 12 months of receiving of the variable, you will have to return the amount earned till date. So, If I leave the company at any point of time, I have to pay back my 1 LPA variable which was never there before my appraisal. I think it is there tactics, now the project is over and they didn't have more project. Instead of firing employees, they mentally torture employees like this so they leave the organization themselves.
