No growth - Graphic Designer WDD Employee Review

They credit salaries on time.

There are a bunch of reasons why I did not like this place at all and why people should reconsider joining this workplace: 1. Neither the founders nor the majority of employees have a habit of asking the concerned person if there is any top-priority work before delegating another work. 2. Akshay Gaikwad, one of the co-founders, does not know how to maintain professionalism in the office and has a habit of disrespectfully talking to his subordinates and calling them by inappropriate names. 3. The stakeholders of the company are very biased when it comes to considering work-related opinions. 4. A heavy amount of my salary was deducted, stating low productivity even though I was working from home for 8–9 hours on a daily basis due to medical reasons for which I provided a medical certificate and reports. Although a couple of employees have the liberty to work on a hybrid basis, even if they're fit and fine to work from office. 5. There is no proper uniformity of rules for a set of favorite employees in this organization. 6. Wrongly evaluating and criticizing employees based on their performance when their confirmation or appraisal is due. 7. Making AI the pillar of the company in terms of content and kicking out several writers or frustrating them to an extent where they leave the organization. 8. Employees here do not have the liberty to sit wherever they want to, even if the place is vacant, and Akshay would shift their places again and again as per his convenience. 9. Expecting quantity over quality of work. 10. Micro-managing the employees on notice period or people they're planning to kick out of their job. 11. They've had a history of kicking 4 people out during my 4-month tenure with them.

Work is diverse - you get to work on social media writing, social advertising campaigns, blog writing for clients in real estate, hospitality, and FMCG It is a smaller entity but work is diverse so one has good opportunities to learn social media and digital advertising here. Good for someone who wants to gain experience in this field. For someone experienced, not sure if they have the propensity to pay as much (at least was not when I worked there). Situation could have changed now.

Company culture is not so great. Even if the team was just 10 people back when I worked there, the management was too unprofessional. Especially in terms of giving space to employees to work, they had cameras installed to monitor the employees and stood behind you while working on something. They are not very capable of making one understand a particular brief or explain feedback. Additionally, they lack consideration to fair pay. They hired 2-3 year experienced people and don't give a hike unless really asked for it. Even then, they keep delaying the hike process as much as they can. It is to be understood that a smaller company might have budgetary allocation problems considering how much business comes in every month. But when employees can see so many clients getting onboarded or being serviced every month, it is evident the business is going well. In that case, the 2 people (who basically are the management) are not even courteous enough to consider employee hikes. Since it is a small company, there are no processes in place or salary compensation structure. Hoping that has changed now.
