I worked there on the marketing team. The pay is decent and WFH last fall (2021) was nice with the option of coming in once a week or more... but I did not like working there one bit. You're not allowed to ask questions and look to get rid of you as quickly as possible. I was told I wasn't working up to par and they couldn't give me an explanation or a way to improve - what kind of vague BS is that? Also, they told me that my doctor appointments made me unreliable, as if I hadn't done everything I needed to do on time since starting AND as if it wasn't borderline illegal to tell me I couldn't take doctor appointments.

It's a firm that exists. What specifically do you want to know about it that you can't find via google?

WLB, comp (specifically wondering if they offer market bonuses), WFH flexibility. Can’t find out from google if people actually like working there.

Hi
How is Broadridge Hyderabad in terms of career growth, work life balance and onsite opportunities.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.
