Hello I recently joined Mindtree as C2 SSE and feeling this as bad move since the work culture and other things are very much startup kind of, very high workload and expectations and also the lead is not that helpful. In almost 3 months I got the company view as slave master culture I just wanted to know your experience if you work/worked at Mindtree. I also want to understand why people say Mindtree as very good company. Frankly saying I don't see a single good point about Mindtree

Playing women card is easiest way to get fame and success.
Chief
True but because of this actual hard working women are losing visibility 🙄
The comment about her "being a new mom and hence cant do a certain work" is out of line; it doesnt show emphathy but a assumption that all new moms have greater share of work load to manage; this is probably true and realistic and the interviewer is merely a mirror of the society we inhabit. But is it fair...Hell no!

Its an area manager work which requires more travel and interaction. He didn't denied just he was not sure.
Type of card. Credit , debit , woman

My card got declined
Lol. I think it’s the GM playing the woman card on her by saying “being a new mom , you’ll not be able to handle such n such pressure “ . From what’s posted She never said she’ll not be able to handle pressure because she’s a new mom. What she means is don’t deny her an opportunity by saying “being a new mom”, which should not be his concern. If the work is not getting delivered for whatever reasons then there are many ways to take action on it . Employers can be ruthless .
Just so you know it’s not the women themselves that play the woman card so much as it is being played on them.
Please ask around how many times women are being asked whether they are married before giving an opportunity to them. And if you say yes , then the next question is you know what happens after a marriage (kids). That is why we need such posts. It’s the follow up questions based on someone’s gender , usually for a female . That’s why we need this dialogue. It’s fine if you don’t get it but early in my professional career before any opportunity I was asked if I am married or am I planning to marry soon. Question is why is it anybody’s concern. How would you feel if you are not given an opportunity because the superiors just assume you’ll not be able to handle it because of your gender or maternal responsibilities.
I totally agree with you D3, but shouldn't that be left on Mom. If she feels fit and healthy to apply for a role which requires travel, she should be considered as fit and healthy. Concern from management is a good thing and is appreciated but that shouldn't be stated as a reason for not giving a job
Your very first sentence makes me believe you are a man by gender . Are you? 😊
the question asked was right. I have 3 ladies in my team and 1 is 8th month pregnant another mother of 3 year old 3rd having her own pregnancy issues. And i have been struggling alot to deliver my project. These all joined saying they can manage. Now i am unable to manage their managing skills🤣🤣 if you are a new mom i would say ur kid needs u more look for a job where u can do justice to both ur kid and job. Else plz stick to the most important one.

Fake feminism spotted.
Area manager role needs a lot of physical activity sometime, and i dont find anything wrong in that comment. Telling the truth n speaking frankly about his concern is the best thing the person did here.
Chief
Agreed the manager would already be aware of that and that's the reason.
Many women say they can't grow because of being treated inferior to men. But what thrashing a man goes through they don't want.
I'm trying to do the same but being women I accept my challenges and problems and try to adjust to it not to demand what I can't fulfill
I have been to a project where some women team mates asked me to attend all meeting and stand up calls and complete task as they have small childrens and they will not attend and complete task.
Chief
Are you human? You should understand her concern and take care of things. 🤣🤣
I grew up watching women in my family handling work and responsibilities and not pulling out the woman card. That being said, I have also seen women struggling to manage both at the workplace and misusing the woman card sometimes. The above mentioned example posted basically is a reflection of what both parties have gone through and are projecting it onto the conversation: the general manager has probably seen women in his organization misuse the woman card and is allowing that to colour his opinion on women returning to work; the candidate has probably experienced some form of discrimination or seen other women experience it at the workplace and is allowing that to colour her opinion. Seems more like a miscommunication to me, feel free to correct me though.

Very true....Controversy makes news
As you said we cant say anything as we were not part of it so lets keep it that way and say nothing about things we don’t know.
Fun Fact:
She already had a counter offer.
This might not even be a true incident. People make false stories all the time just to get more reach
Rising Star
Can’t even tell whether it’s a true incident. You’re right. These people would post anything anywhere to get attention

But the same thing is being glorified there so it's OK to post this.
I hope there comes a day when you all understand and accept that misogyny and double standards are so prevalent at workplace. May be people don’t do it on purpose but it’s so deeply embedded into that there’s a need to call it out. Just gonna end it here .
Wish you all well in life

Aapka bhi 😂 shayad samajh nai aaya hoga. No worries.
So much virtue signaling by the original poster and fake feminists on the post. The interviewer made a valid point by brining up the specific aspects of the job. And he clearly mentioned that he was not sure. Many times folks have tendency to take things on ego VS being practical. Being a parent is a life changing event and comes with it's own changes. I recently became a father and try to spend as much time as possible with my kid, avoid challenging projects and don't even consider changing my job because things are working well for me. For mothers it's even more challenging (don't go all feminazi on me, not saying it's a women's job because they feel way more attachment with a newborn because they carry the baby for 9 months). My wife can't even sit in a different room and leave baby sleeping. Can only imagine the difficulty in leaving your baby for extended period of time that comes with being an area manager. I think women are the best multi taskers and when it comes to baby it's not about ability rather than priority.
