Full of unethical practices!! - Associate Functional Consultant Synoptek Employee Review

Never believed till the time I observed, the company openly promoting moonlighting, there are cases where some of the employees (at a very senior level) work from home who used to work before covid from the office just because the reason their residence, not the city, while we applied for a single day work from home it goes through multi-level approval and it gets approved with a lot of caveats. • Despite the company circular from the head office (USA) mentioning the employee can only work from the list of countries, some employee/s being relatives of one of the top management employees get an exception and are allowed to work from the country not listed in the circular. • Moonlighting is not restricted to onboard employees, even contractors hired for some projects are also in active employment with other companies, still s/he would be onboarded and asked to be a part of a project. • The office is just like a garden, employees can punch in or punch out at any time, just one has to come three days a week, this has also started recently when all the local employees have started to come to the office. • Even if some employee is fully billable through a PO from one company, s/he is asked to work on multiple projects and asked to visit on-site to another client while still being billable to the project for s/he has received PO. As if all other employees (peers) are incompetent. • A couple of employees who joined the company having considerable experience from the likes of TCS, IBM, etc, couldn’t complete their probation period, because of the culture of “my way or the highway”. One of them tried to bring a lot of changes to uplift all the employees' knowledge and tried to bring some initiative which would have helped all the employees, but abruptly resigned and left. No one knows what happened. All their efforts and concerns were throttled in a way, that they didn’t reach the head office. • There have been a couple of such cases. No employees who worked with the tech giants and joined the company (so far) have been able to sustain long. • Only selected employees are chosen to work on any project (chosen by so-called seniors) and others must sit idle and are continuously pressured to do R&D. When it comes to increment, a minimal percentage is given citing you have a lot to learn. • No support is extended when one is stuck and being asked not to consult peers and identify the issue on own then why is there a need for a senior (so-called)?
