Environment getting worse day by day
Pros: - Global exposure
- Better pay than competitors
- Best place to be for average performers
Cons: - In case you're an employee of Global Delivery Services (GDS), you are supposed to sacrifice your work-life balance so that employees of foreign offices can maintain their work-life balance.
- Employees are forced to work extended hours and also on Saturdays, and sometimes Sundays too
- You cannot avail compensatory off for working on Saturdays or working from home on holidays.
- Work is repetitive and doesn't require you to use your intellect. Can be done by people who have basic data-entry skills.
- First the brain is numbed by asking us to focus on just the number of tax returns filed and then innovation is expected.
- Tools are severely lacking when compared to Deloitte. You spend way more time than required and unnecessarily on easily automatable tasks.
- Talk of culture, diversity and inclusiveness is a farce. Excessive focus on culture is a tool to deviate employees from issues such as lack of work-life balance. Diversity exists only when you join. Over the years you are trained to talk in a particular way. All the managers and senior managers sound like clones of each other. You are not promoted to manager unless you pretend to be a clone. HR has no say in any matter.
