Good Start, But Politics Overshadows Performance
Pros
1.The company offers a competitive salary at the time of joining, often above market rate, which makes the initial offer attractive. 2.Increments in the first two years are good, and the work environment up to 2023 was fairly professional and growth-oriented. 3.Initial learning opportunities are decent for someone starting their career.
Cons
Post-2023, the culture changed significantly. A new HR was appointed who started interfering in day-to-day project activities beyond their role, creating confusion in team hierarchies and affecting work dynamics. Favoritism is deeply rooted. Employees who are close to the team leader or HR enjoy privileges like permanent work-from-home, while others with no such rapport are expected to report to office regardless of performance. Hard work is not recognized. Employees who genuinely contribute are often overlooked, while those who focus on pleasing managers receive appreciation and rewards they haven't earned. Some employees have avoided real work for years simply due to their proximity to leadership, while sincere employees bear the extra workload. After 2 years, the experience gained here is poorly regarded externally. Other organisations may not value the skills developed here, which limits your career growth significantly. Notice period policy is unreasonable and not employee-friendly. The overall work culture runs on internal politics rather than merit or performance.
