Pros

Job role is good and with this experience you can easily get a job in bigger companies. Good exposure to technical knowledge and skills

Cons

Everything from the marketing team is flawed after the advent of unfair inheritance of authority or a privileged kid. Leads and managers are not supportive unlike they used to be before which made the team think Anto was perfectly holding the team together and a right leader. Everyone is so keen about saving their jobs as questioning the management would put their job at stake. Herd mentality and bias is sucking big time. Lots of unnecessary pressure and exorbitant call numbers with no proper process or automation in place. Mostly underpaid and no where near what a smaller startup compensate. No other benefits, WFH showed their true colours. Miniscule incentives when the team is performing at its peak, unbelievable. Almost zero learning and monotonous with every day you will hate yourself for doing this and being part of this team. Zero $ spent on process optimization or automation for marketing efforts which puts bde's to do everything manually. No respect for individuals. The managers, especially the senior one behaves as if he owns the company and one such chameleon, an unfit for the position he is holding. Eying to replace Anto's place, he is stooping all time low with almost no dignity, undermining the efforts and no empathy for the fellow team members. I really feel bad to vent this out as this was not the case when I started my tenure. Those were the days that reflected the true CG's culture.

This pains us but then again we would like to appreciate your effort and great deal of time taken to craft this feedback. Although we appreciate your sentiments; we strongly refuse your certain views. CG-VAK is currently in its 25th year, over these years the company have seen lots of success and hardships, strong and frail partnerships, different Leadership, talents, teams. One of the major learning gathered over the years is the realization of the fact that Change is inevitable and Continual Learning is the key to accomplishments. Just like rest of the world this Pandemic was uninvited change for us and just like other companies we were not prepared to address the situation immediately. However, through trial and errors we evolved and took measured approaches to safeguard employees and drive Business. All this was possible because of the support and resilience shown by our partners and employees; these are our employees who stayed with the company for our Values and not Favoritism. We agree with you that there is more for us to do when it’s comes to automation and digitalization of process, we have successfully set few systems in place and are continuously trying to implement more. Even with the current systems, a majority of our Marketing team have performed their daily job requirement and exceeded their targets effortlessly. We set targets that are practicable and have always appreciated with tangible and intangible benefits when an employee achieves or exceed their target. On occasion when they fail to achieve their target, company and members never held them as failure but seen it as an opportunity to improve. Lastly regarding leadership and authority, we too resonate with your admiration for our Marketing Leader who over the years through his excellent leadership have established a strong the sense of values and purpose amongst the team members . Having said that we realize that each Leader is unique and so is their leadership style, managing change takes time and require more planning therefore we are always looking to evaluate and improve our Leadership style. Since you are current team member, we request you come meet us directly or use our Speak up meeting program to discuss these concerns. We assure that together we can come up with some resolutions. Thank you and Best Wishes!

Pros

Friendly friends who will supports you

Cons

Low low salary, managers don't know anything about technology. Ask you to work for extra hours. If you are fresher. Then they will ask for bond with 90 days notice . then you are a slave .

Pros

no pros. not a good environment to work

Cons

Most of the glassdoor reviews are written by management people. they are big liars. No work life balance. [you can't leave the office less than 10 hours. mostly you have to work for 12 or more hours. for example 2 pm to 2 am]. Timing will be 2pm - 11pm, but mostly you will leave after 12.30 am. They are providing cabs after 12.00 am but you will reach home after 2.00am. Useless medical insurance policy. No holiday for public holidays [not even for independence, republic day, tamil new year, christmas, and more]. Only even saturdays are leave.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to see you feel this way but we strongly differ with your reviews. We have always ensured to provide best experience for our employees, keeping in mind the Industry requirements, there are few rare occasions when our resources do work beyond their work hours and this only because they are aware of their importance and contribution towards project. As part of providing a better experience for our employees, we have initiated many practices where they can address their concerns. One of the most successful practices is ‘Speak Up Meeting’ where any employee can speak to the HR Head directly. We have numerous instances where our employees have acquired full medical benefit including cash less treatment and we also provide work from home option. We work for 6 hours on alternative Saturdays for more productive tasks like training, knowledge sharing session etc. Being our former employee, we hope you find time to get in touch with us and we shall go through all your concerns and build a positive relationship With all respect, Thanks Again for your thoughts.
