1. The work/life benefits aren't always what they convey. For example: the work from home varies in amount and trust department to department (manager to manager), the flexible time tends to be questioned a lot even if you come in early but opt to leave early to match after you've put in a full day's work, and their supposed unlimited vacation comes with the unwritten caveat that the moment someone wants to complain about you they like to make you feel extraordinarily guilty about having utilized the benefit. 2. Too many VPs. Everyone there seems to be a VP of this or that. There's layer upon layer of Senior Management and very little to no mid-level. Too many Directors too in naming all the salespeople Directors. That's not fooling any potential client that they're talking to someone with authority, especially when it's clear they can't properly sell the services anyway a good chunk of the time and the DBAs and Service Delivery department have to bail them out after the fact. 3. Almost zero level of job mobility. Basically forget getting a promotion. Maybe team lead on the DBAs, but if you're not one of the senior most management's friends, especially from their former company, your odds of getting promoted are better to be swallowed whole by a shark in Chicago than getting a promotion. 4. No recognition for loyalty or hard work. My time was limited there but I came to see employees who were there 5, 7, 9 years and more who haven't seen raises in years, bonuses even rarer, and never an opportunity to get them despite promises made by senior management over and over of impending raises or bonuses or something to compensate for all the hard work. 5. Specifically applicable to the Service Delivery team: No set job. One day it's client management, the next day they told them they were doing accounts receivable debt collection, the next they have to project manage non-client projects, the next something else. That division is the last stop of the company in regards that everything flowing downhill ends up on their plate despite the fact it should be the premier division being the client's primary contact. If you like that sort of thing great, but be prepared to have the job description obliterated the moment you start. 6. Politics, Politics, Politics. For a small company there is WAY too much of it going around with managers secretly gunning for each other, managers that have cost the company money and have no place still having jobs being protected by other managers, and more. Keep your head down, make friends only at your level, and stay out of anything else.

-- Very immature people in the system -- Before joining the company please revise your salary breakup, the company cheats employees by showing fake salary breakup. eg: it shows that u will be paid for 15 night shifts but all you will be doing is 7 night shift in a month. -- when asked about this to the HR they said that this is how the salary breakup is and you will have to live with it now. -- management does not care how you go back home, they only care that u come to office; on time ,most of the time the transport is delayed. -- Company Rules apply different to different people -- Company's paid transport also has location limitation which is not briefed initially. -- there is no CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Survey) or ESAT (Employee Satisfaction Survey) conducted. -- Manager never talks to people to understand current situation, they are completely dependent on shift leads biased review -- work in shifts and shifts are rostered pathetically in such a way that a person will definitely fall sick -- Company does not care about employees, if a person is doing night shift there si no provision for food.Weekends are worse. There is absolutely nothing to eat. No food provided by the company -- Weekends/ public holidays are never given as a resuly you will not have family / social life. -- Every day when u login to system you will see thousands of emails in inbox and will go mad reading all of them.
