1. Poor work-life balance - One needs to attend early morning meeting at 7am or 8am in the morning followed by late night calls at 9pm, 10 pm or 11pm since most of the reporting managers are located in USA.
2. Start up culture - Lytx in India is at a very beginning level. The number of employees are less than 150. Irrespective of your job profile/ responsibility one needs to work on everything.
3. No proper work location - Lytx India does not have its own office where it is currently working (Co-working place). It does not have office capacity which can accommodate 50% of the workforce on the same floor. You need to book meeting rooms in advance since it in operating in BHIVE co working place and there is no plan to have there own office in the next 2 years (minimum).
4. Multiple decision-making from stakeholders - The HR team reporting managers are mostly in US (95%) and most of the work is done by the HR team in India, which has fewer than 10 employees in total. There is no proper sink between HR team in the US and India.
5. No structure training - There is no structure training or guidance to give about the role. People operations role is mainly kept to fill in the administrative gaps and answer employee queries. Despite having a good HRIS tool there are no further plans to use the tool for basic things such as initiating pre-onboarding or creating basic reports to stakeholders.
6. Lack of transparency in work - No structure for work and no proper access to Workday tool It took 60 days to give basic access to perform things. The majority of the inputs are manually done which adds more burden to your work.
7. No proper hybrid model - Part from people coach hardly people come to office from HR team (Once in 15 days). Only people coach and people operations were following the proper hybrid model.
8. Insurance - Insurance deduction take place from your CTC and the pay structure deduction is on high side. There is no proper compensation breakdown mentioned in the offer letter.
