Patheric work culture and working enviroment
Pros
TTC gets decent assignment in the development sector and aspires to be a leading consulting organization but is nowhere near it (even after 6-7 years). It provides an opportunity to work with CSR foundations and NGOs, but the cons of working with this company i.e. the work culture and work environment far outweigh the pros.
Cons
- The company has a pathetic work environment. People in senior management are more interested in playing politics than they are in consulting and given the small size of the company the juniors become easy pickings. You can feel a sense of insecurity among the higher management because of which they constantly keep putting blame on their juniors instead of trying to solve the issue at hand. On multiple occasions I have seen them sit in a meeting room and plot how to put blame on others. - They seriously need to improve on how they treat their employees. The HR is often found yelling at subordinates in anger, and can be heard on the entire floor. You can imagine the plight of new joinees where a manager vents out his anger of not being able to go to his hometown by cancelling the trip of a junior. - There is no work life balance and working on Saturdays and Sundays is extremely common. The work hours stretch upto 9-10 pm almost on a daily basis with no overtime, incentives or comp-off. In fact you are made to feel guilty for leaving on time or not working on a weekend. - They have an extremely high employee turnover rate and people are looking for other options soon after they join. - Report review meetings are a sham and are filled with unnecessary reviews to show 'I am the boss'. Most of the times you end up returning to the original version after client’s comments. - I know people working in other consulting firms in the same sector, offering much better work environment. So my suggestion would be to avoid joining this company and wait for a better opportunity.
