Pros

Good colleagues that I feel

Cons

There is a module called retention pay. Actually it's a scam. In your offer letter they will mention that if you relive the company before 9 months you need to pay retention amount, but the truth is when ever you are leaving you need to pay the retention amount even if it's 1 year, or 10 year. The retention amount you need to pay

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with your colleagues. Regarding your concerns about our retention policy, we want to clarify that our terms are outlined transparently in the offer letter and discussed during onboarding. These policies are structured to align with industry practices and long-term talent development.

Pros

This organization may be considered only by candidates who are in urgent need of employment or do not currently have better opportunities available. It can serve as a temporary option for gaining basic work experience.

Cons

The organization lacks professionalism in employee communication, especially regarding salary processing, retention pay policies, leave encashment, and Full & Final settlements. Important financial and HR-related matters are not communicated transparently, which creates unnecessary stress and confusion for employees. One of the major concerns is the retention pay policy. During the joining process, commitments and explanations are presented positively, but during resignation or exit, employees are informed about different conditions and deductions, leading to dissatisfaction and mistrust. There is also a significant delay and lack of clarity in responding to employee queries related to salary discrepancies, FnF settlements, and statutory documents such as Form 16. Additionally, attempts to contact HR or the concerned departments often go unanswered, which reflects poorly on employee support and organizational accountability. Employees expect professional treatment, especially during their exit process, but the overall handling appears unstructured and insensitive toward employee concerns.
