Pros
There are some positives, though they no longer outweigh the drawbacks. A few to mention: > Company PF contribution > Documented performance review cycles > Employee effort tracking systems
Cons
> Micromanagement has increased significantly > Even simple concerns are passed back and forth between HR and senior leadership, with no clear ownership > Employees hesitate to speak up due to fear of negative consequences such as PIPs or exits > Office attendance is monitored informally rather than through transparent systems > Policies differ by region, with the India team following more restrictive rules > Decision-making is highly centralized, leaving managers with limited autonomy > No clearly defined WFH policy; approvals depend on senior leadership rather than direct managers > Increased scrutiny around leave usage has made employees uncomfortable and hesitant to take time off when needed, contributing to burnout > In recent months, multiple employee exits have happened with minimal communication, increasing uneasiness and uncertainty among remaining employees > HR processes for documentation and leave-related requests feel unsupportive and rigid The culture has changed noticeably in recent months. What once felt balanced now feels restrictive and stressful. Given current market conditions, many employees feel constrained, which adds to anxiety, low morale, and burnout.
