Working by video across time zones is hard.

Review from IT Dept · Posted 13 days ago

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,

Review from Operations Dept

Keep a channel open for us to chat

Review from Customer Support Dept

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

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

The interviewers were very friendly and open and I did nit need to wait for their decision long

To be honest, it was many years ago, so I'm not sure how relevant it would be now.

Less autonomy in the BAU work done

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 12 days ago

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.

Lack of trust and lack of security

Review from Product Dept

Again, communication with my manager, better compensation and streamlined work processes
