Salary, Management, Work life balance

At first I want to mention, don't go with the rating of this company. In 2013 December, company's glassdoor rating was 2.7. Many candidates asked this question that why the rating is so bad. The HR guys replied they are working on it and it really seems they've worked on it. You can clearly see it from the rating graph. Last 10-15 reviews, all are almost same language and high rating :) 1. If you can forget about your self respect, join this company. You'll be treated as animal here. 2. Employee benefit- Wait!! What is that?? 3. I attended a meeting with senior management once. The language they use in meeting, you'll think twice before using such language with your friends. 4. Work life balance - 9 hours productivity is mandatory. If you go to washroom, that also will be deducted from your total office hours. Officially they say u've to stay 10 hours in office but unofficially its 12-15 hours and its quite normal. 5. Canteen - Your home kitchen is bigger than this. You've to pay even for a cup of coffee. 6. If you put your resignation, then the real drama will start. If you are valuable resource, they will try to retain you by any means. Yes, how much bad you can imagine, they'll apply everything. Whatever you see in internet about this company's employee harassment, all are completely true. 7. If you are joining in Bangalore, get ready to be moved to Chennai. They can send you anytime to Chennai with one day's notice. 8. Normal working period of a skilled employee is 5 months to 1 year (worst case) in this company. You can verify this with the former employees. I'm requesting you guys, don't fall into the trap of lucrative salary. How much they'll pay you, 4 times of that they'll take from you. I spent most horrible time of my life during the work period of this company.
