Review from IT Dept
Linguistic and caste-based groupism and favouritism are experienced, but they are pushed under the rug. At the Chennai office, the Tamil and Telugu brahmin clique and coterie is too much to handle. All despise them. But nothing is openly told,

They have to communicate with others by sharing their experiences and motivate each other to improve the quality of work within less time.

Review from Executive Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
HR behaves oddly. Some people continuously apply for 5-6 years to get selected. Is this done on purpose to maintain the premiumness - not sure. Rejection reasons are not communicated. All HR work is outsourced, the third party needs more training and fixing

Making a difference to my colleagues - who are my customers
Review from Operations Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Things are always great and perfect on leadership level. But further down below things go wrong which is naturally. The leadership level feels detached from the rest. They appear to me as gods who never fail which is inhuman.
Review from IT Dept
Less autonomy in the BAU work done
Review from Operations Dept
Nothing, i think people are over worked, and underpaid for the amount of tasks they are being given to do. Increased workload, and smaller budgets are an issue, and there are better roles elsewhere.
Review from Operations Dept
Lack of trust and lack of security
Review from Product Dept
Again, communication with my manager, better compensation and streamlined work processes
