Don't fall for the employment trap at BMJ India - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso BMJ Group

Don't join BMJ India if you receive an offer - it's a trap - you should wait for better opportunities - which will come. BMJ UK is a good organization. BMJ India however is a different story. First, right from the recruitment phase, they will identify weak, vulnerable people, who will anyway be in need of employment - the management [India Managing Director] has openly encouraged this strategy in meetings saying these people are needy. They somehow think this gives them leverage - a vulnerable person is more likely to tolerate whatever is thrown their way because they are dealing with a lot in their life already. The Managing Director has never provided vision and clarity - mostly peddling stuff copied from the internet - it's funny actually. Respect the staff that you have are intelligent and provide them real leadership. We recently did a 360 degree appraisal at an offsite, & the staff openly shared what they thought of him - no change in him whatsoever. Shameful ! While I appreciate cost-cutting is important, the cost cutting measures here are another level altogether - if they can get away by cheating staff of even 1 rupee / or 80 cents, they can and they will - and then gloat about it. Don’t believe me? Use LinkedIn to check in with any former employee of BMJ India. The sales team is deliberately misguided - people routinely cross over into each other’s territories, because no clarity is provided, in the hope that they will fight amongst themselves. The only mission that the India Managing Director has is to further his own agenda - Revenues are not growing, creating pressure on staff. The India HR is a joke. So in case you have a toxic manager, you can't even go to the HR. The HR is a powerless, useless function, only given to doing things at the behest of the India Managing Director. In what situations should you accept an offer If you have nothing else in hand and need something to pay the bills. Don’t look for work-life balance. Work 9-5 as per your role. Dont fall into the trap of a higher purpose, vision etc.
