...Salary/benefits are average. You won't get appraisal as well as per your desire. Most importantly, they keep you on third party pay role which is annoying.

Honestly, nothing stands out. Everything seems to have its flaws.

...s, which was expected because they majorly have reference people without talent. hardworking and skilled employees don’t receive fair recognition or salary hikes. A large percentage of the workforce is made up of internal referrals and relatives of senior leaders, especially Associate Directors in IT depart. These persons often receive undeserved promotions and generous appraisals, while the genuinely talented employees are either sidelined or laid off. It’s frustrating to see that those who barely contribute continue to enjoy benefits simply because of internal references. 3. Toxic Work Culture & Politics: Office politics is at its peak, primarily driven by Associate Directors and some Managers. They often take credit for others’ work and hide the contributions of hardworking employees from senior leadership. The work environment feels oppressive, with unrealistic pressure, including on weekends. Unless you are in the good books of these leaders or have strong internal references, your growth is limited. There is very little appreciation or reward for genuine effort. Other Concerns: Despite branding itself as a “Great Place to Work” and being a rating agency, CRISIL has failed to introspect and improve its internal management practices. There have been salary delays, and HR is practically non-functional when it comes to supporting employees. If you approach HR with a concern, it often gets reported to your manager, which may result in your termination. It’s unfortunate, but that’s the reality

You get some protection from vild atmosphere if you are working for a foreign client. Clients encourage you unlike backbiting and racism you face for being a non tamilian.

Dislikes

Huge discrimination, even in pay. Didn't pay overtime for years while tamilian colleagues got it. Constant abuse and isolation. No action by compliance etc even after labour court case. Good HRs sacked.
