I can't completely say it's toxic policy but

Cons:

  • No Internet allowances during COVID time/WFH
  • No furniture allowance during COVID
  • No coupons for birthdays/anniversary etc.
  • No food / snacks
  • No travel allowance
  • No joining bonus

Pros:

  • Extremely good hike % every year. Even in layoffs most of them got 20 to 25% on average ( even with packages> 60)

  • Company closed the office from june 2020 till Dec 2022 due to covid. Management calculated all the office expenses like rent/lease, internet, panty etc.. and distributed equally to employees. This was not part of our CTC. I got around 12.5Lakh post tax in Jan

Why do you mention stealth? Mention the name of the company.

Also, too control hungry company, not a great culture if you want to drive innovation among employees.

It's like a startup at a very initial stage. Also, not comfortable naming the company.

Funny thing, they have an office in Mumbai and people are fucking travelling 3 hours on road just to get to office. Lol.

You do know this is how the world worked pre covid? Even while signing joining letter for a complete remote job they say that you can be asked to relocate when they want

I was explicitly told it'd be remote. Nevertheless, I signed up for this :/

  1. Manager asking pregnant employees to WFO before they go to maternity leave or loss of pay
  2. He will ask to deactivate Naukri profile, we are not even allowed to mark ourselves as open to work on LinkedIn.
  3. We haven't got any hikes from the past 2 years
  4. Too much office politics, even the manager is involved.
