What made it worst? The pay, the culture, or your manager?

What's the worst company you have worked for?

ICICI Bank, they had a strict sign in timing policy where if you are late to corporate office, half day salary would be cut, It would be reversed only when manager approves. The sign out time used to be 5.15pm, but you would be made to sit till 8 pm by most of the managers even if your job is done for the day. A sign out at 6 pm used to be called as half day by most of the managers. 
 I heard now they donot have this dictatorial policy.

What are the worst companies to work for? and why it's "The Big 4" ?

Senior Software Engineer

I'd like to rant about the Quality Team.
The ones who dissect into your work and try to nitpick anything that could be flagged as a 'wrong process', 'wrong procedure', inaccurate solution', 'misjudging the statement', 'rude tone', etc.

Do you guys get extra incentives on catching these mistakes? No, I don't think so. You get a bunch of things to do quality checks on but actually when there's barely anything wrong, you will go till the deep end to find an error.

Why do you have a Quality meet for any feedback from the alleged wrongdoers end when you guys are not ready for any feedback? All I hear you say, "as discussed earlier", "prior to this call", "I totally understand what you're saying", etc.
Remember kids, when people ask you for a feedback session over a meet link, it's never for you to voice out or prove yourself correct. Ultimately it's these guys who win and thanks to them, we lose out on our monthly metrics.

What's the worst designation at your Workplace?

Digital Operations

I was done with a very shit project team. The client is notorious, ask anyone in EY GDS about a telecom provider project near Manesar that everyone dreads. They make you work night shifts and literally have nothing to do there. I know people who game there all night. It is just the worst and my health was being affected. I am being paid < 10L by the way. So it was getting very toxic. 

I decided to ask my manager but he said that it is not possible right now. I asked my friends in other projects and I came to know that the only way to leave the project is to leave EY. I also came to know about someone who left EY to leave the project and rejoined EY to join another project.

I am now done with EY. Who said that Big 4 is good? Only Boomers who think Big 4 has prestige ig because they pay peanuts.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I recently applied to Indian Fintech, first round went well. Got no response from HR for 3-4 days. Once I called her on 5th day, she told me that I had cleared first round and they will assignment next day. Assignment didn’t arrive for 2 more days. HR stopped picking my calls. After this I reached out to third party recruiter (who started the process initially). She contacted this company HR and they sent me assignment next day. 

I had to complete it in 48 hour strict timeline. Spent entire 2 days on it and barely slept. I submitted it on time. 

After this no reply from HR for 4 days. Finally I reached out to my interviewer from first round for help. He said he will remind HR. 

Next day I got call from HR that all open positions are closed and we will consider u in future. No feedback on assignment was given. Not even sorry for making u wait. 

Isn’t the only thing HRs need to be good at is people handling & professional communication?

What’s the worst interview process experience you had so far?

Need Review for Cars24 Blr

Software Engineer

So, today was my first day in corporate. Joined a company that i hate the most, the government job company. During the induction itself, I experienced shitty HR (including all their internal depts) policies and their shitty rules. They literally told new joiners that they are going to force associates to take up the project, no matter what tech stack you want to work in! what domain do you want to work in! 

Now, you may ask why did i join them in the first place? Well, the current job market for freshers is just too bad! Graduated in may 2023, spent past 4 months trying to get an interview, but never landed any (when applied with referrals HR said they want 4+ YoE, and also the struggle to get referral. got 2 replies on an avg per 40 DMs (<500 followers) per company, that too after expiry.) In the past 1.5 years, I've cracked OAs and tech rounds of fintech like phonepe and juspay, but final rounds went south due to ghosting and a bit of politics from the college side (i know this because I had some friends working for placement officer and also i confronted that officer). Hence, 4 jobless months led me to join this organization.

Please help me structure plan to get a good offer and leave this organization in 4 months.

Joined a company I hate the most

Since I’ve been working under a crappy management just wanted to know what others are going through as well. 

My manager takes a PL off my account everyday since I’m on notice period in the hopes this will convince me to rescind my registration and work under her 💀

Worst Thing Your Management Has Done

Assistant Manager

Almost 50% of the org got no increments
People with "exceeds" rating got single digit increments
Only promotion cases have got early to mid double digit increments
Promotions have been significantly fewer this time, max people have been told to hold off their expectations of promotions for another year

The reasons cited were economic slowdown, other companies like Microsoft, Flipkart, swiggy, Amazon doing the same and cost cutting. I think things are getting toxic and the majority of employees have been left disappointed.

Razorpay increments - sad state

Also, does the payscale is proportional to the level of stress, or are there any lucky people earning unproportionately to their stress?😅

Which industies are most and least stressful to work in?

Context - I’ve been in the industry for a decade now. Industry pay and other metrics are actually not that bad. Just never felt that it gets the same attention as banking/ consulting/ investing, etc. I feel there is a genuine lack of quality in the talent in the industry.
