Pros

1. They push you hard, so you learn a lot in a short span 2. If you're a fresher you get to work with a lot of young folks, so you feel like you belong 3. Ownership of some projects

Cons

1. Management Inexperience and Client Service Challenges: During my tenure at Red Baton, it became evident that the leadership lacks the necessary experience to effectively manage client service relations. This gap in expertise often results in decisions that seem to prioritize financial gains. Unfortunately, this approach comes at the expense of safeguarding employee interests, contributing to a less-than-ideal work environment. 2. Employee Well-being and Work-Life Balance Struggles: Despite the organization's promotion of a flexible work environment, the reality is quite different. The process of obtaining permissions for work-from-home or leave resembles a bureaucratic obstacle course, contradicting the promised freedom. This not only takes a toll on employee mental health but also reveals a stark contrast between policy and actual practice. 3. Toxic Work Culture and Exploitation of Staff: Red Baton nurtures a toxic work culture that results in exploitation and burnout. The management's focus on extracting maximum value without providing commensurate compensation or supporting professional growth creates a challenging atmosphere. 4. Gaslighting and Preferential Treatment: Instances of gaslighting and manipulation are unfortunately common, contributing to an atmosphere of pervasive distrust. The double-faced nature of management, particularly the favoritism within cliques, raises serious concerns about fairness and integrity. The preferential treatment given to certain employees leaves others navigating a less favorable path. 5. Ethical Concerns in Employee Separation: Red Baton's practices in employee separations are questionable, involving malpractices and sub-legal methods. Seeking separation often requires legal intervention, shedding light on a lack of transparency and fairness. This reality adds an undue burden on employees seeking to move on from their roles.

Pros

Good learning Supportive peers Different Projects in different domain

Cons

There is no transparency in the system. Leads can do whatever they want and rules change for them, but others need to follow them properly. No confidentiality, no office programs/outings. The culture is getting worse by day. The PM's are supportive but a senior PM was partial, manipulative, and pressurizing all to do do all works. Many good employees are quitting now.
