Deccan International reviews

Not much new OR projects and too much software maintenance

1. Poor management - Management is in fact moody, rude, and disrespectful. 2. Micromanaged - you are required to copy your boss on every email and the president on every outgoing email. I was required to send 100% of my emails to my boss prior to sending to clients. All of my emails were returned to me completely reworded and torn apart. I was never able to read their minds of how every small detail should be worded. In addition, all projects I completed were redone and corrected. 3. Pay is below market value. I took this pay because I was changing career paths and willing to take a pay cut in order to gain experience. 4. Impossible Standards - they expect PERFECTION. Absolutely nothing less. In fact I was told that "mistakes are not acceptable". In my opinion and experience people learn by making mistakes, this is how we grow. I was let go due to making too many mistake, even though none of these mistake cost the company $$, clients, or created any negative impact. They were only a result of being in a transition period of learning the new industry. Grammatical errors and forgetting an attachment in an email are examples of unacceptable mistakes. 5. High turnover - I was at this company for about 4 months. In that time they fired 3 people and 1 person quit. Prior to my arrival there had been several others to leave the company for reasons I did not know. 6. Managers are overworked - everyone was too busy which was not good for morale 7. Not allowed to ask for help/No support - I was told many times that my asking questions or for help was inconvenient to my manager. I was told she was too busy to help me with my work. As a result mistakes were made which led to my termination 8. Unfriendly environment - managers with offices stay behind closed doors all day. There was very little interaction among employees not business related. 9. No encouragement - I was never told that I did something right or given credit for the tasks accomplished. I was able to re-engage a client that had been quiet for several years and that meant nothing to the company. 10. Management doesn't listen to staff 11. I was embarrassed to be part of this company during their annual conference. The President, Director of Ops, and Office Manager were verbally abusive to the staff at the hotel. ADVICE - If you need encouragement, room to be yourself and make a few mistakes to learn, or are just not a perfectionist I would STAY AWAY from this company.
