Thank you for sharing your review from Pune. We are very proud of our work culture and flexibility of our global HR policies. In terms of your comments about Working from home. We do offer a hybrid working policy which allows colleagues to have a healthy balance of time at home as well as having time with colleagues in person which we feel is important to maintain a collegiate environment for colleagues to grow and learn from each other. We also offer workation for up to 20 days pa where colleagues can spend time with family and friends away from the office. This is very popular.

Toxic work culture

Publisher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Well known company with strong profits

Cons

The work culture in the Delhi office is very toxic. There is a noticeable lack of professional maturity at the leadership level, resulting in an environment that appears unstructured and difficult to navigate. This, coupled with a tendency to foster insecurity and internal politics, has impacted both morale and productivity.
