Career growth and promotions can be slower

The work sounded exciting while joining the team.

Over time the work was hollow, there was more showcasing and less about impactful work. The management intimidates its employees and uses harsh language during meetings and discussion including racial slurs and stereotypes. I was called 'Kolaveri' only cause I am South Indian.

Nice place to work on. Believe in diversity and people centric company. Work life balance

All locations to be equally organized.

Remote if internal, a small percentage of decent humans that you get to work with on a daily basis.

ZERO diversity, women are underrepresented, leadership doesn't care about their people only their numbers. They don't care what type of project YOU want to work on its about what THEY need only, new campus hires are dragged through the mud with zero work or pencil pushing. I can't tell you how many times in RIF conversations leadership didn't care about cutting someone. They could have had been there for 10+ years and gotten great reviews ... if they aren't staffed within 30 days they go. I had a manager who discriminated against me while I was pregnant and verbally abused my team member and I ..no one cared even with massive amounts of evidence. Overall, the worst company I ever worked for in my career. Honestly, in my practice no one had any business being in leadership outside of a couple of people. It was just friends of friends getting promoted.... mainly men that looked alike.

Average HR policies hybrid work policies are not measured seriously but used to HR's advantage One doesn't require technical skills to please the Leaders as they all grown through their bosses' blessings.

Male leaders use this card to stay impressive in the eyes of leaders and Female use it to their convenience. Other diversity groups have not increased their counts or promotions except women.

this company hires in mass. and giving joining very slow phase-wise, that's why this company is not good. I also have to wait for 1 year for the offer letter.

Opportunity to WFH which is great when you feel uncomfortable in the office.

Where do I start! MY EXPERIENCE AS A BLACK EMPLOYEE Firstly, hats off to the marketing team, they do a great job of making it seem like diversity and inclusion is a big part of their business. However, all is not as it seems. As a black member of staff this was the most uncomfortable environment I've ever worked in. Several ignorant comments were made about me in reference to my race and my physical appearance from very senior members of staff and members of management. Inappropriate comments and behaviour were displaced that made me feel fetishised based on my race. When I raised concerns about how it felt being a black member of staff in the business and asked for an open forum with senior members of staff to address how myself and other black members of staff felt I was told that it wasn't a good idea because of how it would make non-black people feel. Ohh and lets not forget that 'glass ceiling' if your dream is to become a VP or even a senior member of staff, you'll either need to fall in line and be the 'token black person' or move to another company because the chances of it happening here are slim and honestly the fight isn't even worth it. Honestly being black in this business felt like I was purely there so they could appear diverse from the outside looking in. MY EXPERIENCE WITH PROMOTIONS In short, if you work hard you'll go up a grade but your salary increase is based on favouritism in my opinion. If your head of department likes you, you'll have a higher pay increase. My advice to you, if your manager asks you to go to work drinks and take tequila shots with your team, you better go or face being cautioned by your manager the next day. (Yes this really did happen!) NO CONFIDENTIALLY When I flagged my issues to HR believing it was confidential, my manager told me he was made aware of what I said and then proceeded to tell me how the HR manager made a complaint about me for how I spoke to them. However, this complaint was never mentioned to me and I felt uncomfortable speaking to HR after this point as it was clear to me that my conversations were not confidential. EMPLOYEE RELATION(ships) I'm not against employees having relations, we're all adults. But, I do find it wildly inappropriate to have relations with a member of staff (whether it's a one time thing or not) when you're directly responsible for their pay review. Remember what I said about favouritism and promotions going hand-in-hand....Ohh the stories if only HR knew what was really going on a lot of people would be in trouble let me tell you! Who knows maybe they do know and they're looking the other way! There are so many more things I could say but I'll leave you to digest my lengthy review. It's shocking I know!
