List of companies to not join
Yep. You read that right. We all have seen the list of dream companies to join several times on this platform. But in my opinion, it's equally important for us all to be aware of companies that you wish people wouldn't join and suffer.
This post is dedicated to all those people who want to stop people from joining their team at their company, purely because you know the ground reality and you wished to prevent someone from being a part of it and suffer.
So, go ahead and drop them bombs.
I hope you stay truthful and post replies with all your honesty.

TCS, based on many things but a recent example: they didn't approve WFH for my sister-in-law who is pregnant (5 months). Asked her to be in office 5 days a week or apply all her leaves. Shows how much they care about employees.
F***. Why do I feel like almost all companies these days are doing this ? I've heard the same for atleast 6 times this week from friends and cousins. It feels like a desperate and a shitty attempt to force the employee to resign rather than them laying off people and getting themselves under the social media layoffs spotlight. It also probably saves them money because with layoffs they have to shell severance and other benefits. But with such shitty moves, they are not loosing anything.
Middle management has gone crazy, I think this is a generation issue and hence not limited to only a few companies
Accenture
Weird policy of loaning people to irrelevant units irrespective of your skills, wasted a year here, please don't waste your time here.
Out of all SBCs, I've heard good things about Accenture. But you are saying the opposite 👀
I been in Accenture for almost 6 years, Accenture is way better that what others are out there although it depends a lot on project specific thing and good thing is if you don't like you can change team raise grievances and you'll be fine!
Dentsu
Very toxic work culture, sub standard company, minimal support to employees. I've been warned by several people to stay away from this company.
Completely agree. They are harassing me with legal & criminal proceedings to payback 6lacs for parental medical insurance I claimed.
Withdrew my employment credentials from elockr/Ongrid , so that I cannot be employed elsewhere. Details in my post below.

Join only if you want to suffer and have your will to live taken away from you. Think twice or even thrice before joining if you are very desperate.
Micromanagement, overwork, workplace bullying. Upper management is unapproachable. CTO is the worst person I have ever seen. I can go on but you can more or less find this out from glassdoor. Just be sure to only read the helpful reviews since many of them are fake reviews written by HR.
Dentsu (Bangalore)
Everyone in my team was overworked & people were dropping their papers left & right.
Also they have been harassing me to payback 6lacs for medical insurance I claimed for my late month.
Withdrew my employment credentials from elockr/Ongrid , so that I cannot be employed elsewhere until I pay them back.
Details in my post below.
OnsiteGO.
Stupid business with only third class incompetent people in the product and tech team who are not doing any single work and only micromanaging/doing chugli for others.
If you are experienced with doing real work fast and have had a great impactful trajectory in career so far, never join this company. It will suck all kind of enthusiasm and willingness out of you. The GPM is the worst of all and I can't stop thrashing him. The CTO is extremely incompetent and dumb.
Everyone will have a some names, if you give there would 90% companies. Every work places there pros and cons. Sometimes it doesn't about the companies some has good work culture, some has good growth, some has good salary etc. Everyone one should do own study by researching all perspective. Nothing is perfect neither you nor company.
How is Cognizant?
Tech Mahindra! - Zero growth, Zero projects- just some old shitass projects with tech support!
Samsung
- Mandatory 9 hours, 3 days week in office. Even during genuine reasons they dont care
- Managers think they own your life
- working is like being in school. Raise permission to access internet, Wifi, GitHub access.
- Permission to take you laptop to home
- Ask permission to go on leave. (What do you mean you are an adult and you can take a day off? How dare you?)
- laptop has 10 different spywares installed which slows it down. A simple git commit take over 30s
- (nitpick) elevator, busses, and other common area smells of sweat
Lol. That's too bad. I certainly dodged a bullet.
