Disappointing Experience – Poor Project Allocation & Lack of Transparency

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with LTM has been one of the most disappointing decisions in my career. Despite having multiple offers at the time, choosing this organization turned out to be a mistake I now regret.

The company hires candidates but keeps them on the bench for extended periods without any proper communication or clarity on project allocation.

What happened Now. How long can they keep someone on bench?

Technology?

Even after waiting for more than 6 months, there were no meaningful efforts from the management to assign a project or conduct internal interviews.

What is more concerning is the lack of response and accountability from the team. There is no structured support, no updates, and no clear career direction provided during this period.

Eventually, instead of resolving the situation, employees are pushed to resign citing “no available positions,” which reflects poor workforce planning and management.
If you are considering joining, be cautious and evaluate your options carefully.

Stability, transparency, and employee engagement are seriously lacking here.

Pros: None worth mentioning
Cons: Long bench time, no communication, no project allocation, forced exits

If one has to resign citing “no available positions" ...bcoz of their inefficiencies .....then in real sense they themselves should resign ... not the other way --- but its India --- Labouron ka bharmar hai .....and these companies are exploiting like anything....

Haha ...they are busy in brand rebuilding...do not disturb them ...once they will be free (God knows when ) work at other areas will start 😜

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management. I regularly interface with leadership internally and at the client. But, I am aligned to the “Operations” capability and make the least of my teammates who perform seemingly identical work but are aligned to “Strategy and Consulting.” I worry I’m on a career path to being paid the least wherever I go, because Operations is in my title and background.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies.

You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!
