Good Brand, But India Office Leadership and HR Are Major Concerns - Anonymous employee SurveyMonkey Employee Review

Compensation is below market standards for companies of similar size and scale. This directly impacts talent retention and morale. Leadership presence in India is weak. HRBP experience is extremely disappointing. The HR representative displays behavior that is unprofessional and disrespectful toward engineers. Instead of being an employee advocate, HR appears authoritarian, and leadership remains passive, allowing this culture to continue. It often feels like HR wields more power than the actual site leader. High level of secrecy around exits. Rumors frequently circulate because departures are handled quietly, with no transparency. This fuels anxiety and distrust among employees. New hires often resign within days or weeks of joining. Cafeteria food quality is poor, and complaints are dismissed casually — often with suggestions like “bring food from home,” which does not reflect a supportive employee experience. Micromanagement of attendance: HR closely monitors login and logout times and if you raise anything she will make sure that she talks about the attendance, which creates a lack of trust and adds unnecessary pressure, especially in a modern workplace environment.
