Pros

Wfh Birthday coupon You will get bouquet and wishes if you are unwell from hr

Cons

It is headed by a megalomaniac person who calls him a leader the only pride he has is saying that he was from Microsoft, coz he has not scaled the organization neither products. Everything has to be done according to his whims and fancies . Expects people to be subservient to him, is known for shouting using abusive language, passess discriminatory comments about Indians, the entire family is highly racist. They create dubious companies and then just leave them to name a few ST21BOTHUB TECHNOLOGIES, INTELLITEK they talk big words about equity, ESOp etc and it's funny to hear these words as they dont even pay the appraisals or varaible pay on time for years and years together and every year they fire employyees closer to begining of the year so that thye may refrain from paying variable pay and appraisals. You can talk to any of the Senior level India leaders who are currently there or who have exited and thye will tell you tales about their arrogance, including many many HR people. This is a complete family fiefdom of an individual and many Exec leaders including folks in onsite have been thrown out who had spent close to a decade. The group ceo is responsible for toxic work culture and sub human treatment of the employees It's a family run shop where people who have zero experience or knowledge make life miserable for able employees From HR to operations to every where it's incompetent family folks and yes bosses who run...ruin this place. mintu was the only hope as we have worked in his leadership in the past stinit amd he respects employees and treats them good and the organziation was good only furing his leadership, but he has also been kept aloof from all that is happening so no hope. Thye are now starting a new organization called IntelliTek just to sell soon please stay away for your own good they don't care about employees it's only their wealth growth...

One would think as a 'current' employee with more than 5+ years of working experience with SmarTek21, there would be more than well-wish bouquets and birthday coupons that would keep one motivated to continue to work in such an environment that is described above. Glassdoor does not take down original reviews by employees, in fact, their community bylaws encourage the expression of opinion of any employee whether it is based on truth, lies, and/or a lack of moral ept. It is disappointing that after such a long time of employment with SmarTek21, there would be such a disrespect for the founder of the very company that has employed one for 5 or more years. We welcome constructive feedback to help us provide better training for various management departments, but we do not support hate speech and racist undertones towards any employee or manager of our great company. SmarTek21 finds this type of attack on an entire family irresponsible, malicious, and volatile. Such a disgruntled attack with outburst of anger towards the founding family and any employees is a concern and needs to be investigated for the safety of our employees within the walls of SmarTek21. From a 'non-family member' employee who has worked for SmarTek21 for 15+ years, the family who owns this company gives back to their community, they take care of the orphans and widows and has employed hundreds around the world. There is a tremendous amount of sadness around the mentioned experiences you have endured and the opinions in which you have gathered in the last 5+ years, and we can only sincerely hope that you find an environment that will bring you peace and success in the near future.
