Cons
Strictly about the present COMSOL Bangalore Office: Management seems to be eccentric, inconsistent and unpredictable. Following characteristics have been consolidated from direct instances experienced by self and colleagues: 1. Micromanagement: You may often get emails judging your "Seriousness in the workplace", or instructing when or when not to have breakfast, play table tennis, issuing other restrictions and so on. 2. Lack of SOPs: Your yearly appraisal meeting may be conducted over a 15 min phone call, outside office hours. 3. Struggle for basics: You may have to repeatedly followup the management for basic things like Confirmation letter after your probation period. You may have to ask repeatedly for Appraisal letter, and you may be cross-questioned by the management as to why it is needed by you. 4. Unpredictability: You may be fired abruptly, while serving your notice period and be asked to leave within an hour, in case the management perceives you to be a hazard. 5. Vindictiveness: Management may weaponize anything in their authority, such as threatening to withhold your Relieving letter after you have served your notice period, in case they have preconceived notions against you. 6. Misplaced sense of cost-saving: During team activities, due to lack of budget, it may happen that you may have to share refreshments such as 1 sandwich among 2 people. 7. Violation of business logic: Management may refuse to sell a COMSOL license to a customer in case they have a grudge against the customer for some reason - in the worst case, or delay the sale by a few quarters - in the best case scenario.
