Toxic Culture, Exploitative Work Expectations, Broken Promises
Pros
- Good for people who don't have any personal life. - Stay in the office till 10pm and get praised by leadership.
Cons
Toxic work culture with zero respect for work-life balance - Extended working hours are expected daily; this is the norm, not an exception. - Weekend work is effectively mandatory; not participating is noticed and is held against employees - Extremely aggressive and unrealistic timelines for building a full ERP system, leading to sustained burnout and bugs - Management pushed employees beyond reasonable limits with promises of strong appraisals and bonuses. After successful delivery cited “budget constraints” - Clear disconnect between leadership commitments and actual outcomes Pune Office Specific Issues: - Extremely weak local leadership with no decision-making authority - Employee concerns around commute, traffic, and parking are well known but consistently ignored - Strong pressure to return to office regardless of practical challenges - Local leadership is always focused on pleasing overseas leadership to keep their jobs safe, even at the cost of ignoring employee concerns and practical realities (commute challenges, work-life balance, and on-ground constraints) - Leaders taking stand for employees and work from home policy are fired
