Pros

- Wide exposure - Build up of discipline, resilience & knowledge due to exposure globally. - Forces you to be independent

Cons

- Bad work life balance: you may work 12 - 16 hours on a regular basis, they take every opportunity to squeeze every ounce in each employee. - Salary: It is one of the worst paid in the industry. - Progression: Not much progression in the company, you may find Executives & Directors doing the same job scope. Even at times the HOD may be required to do the same. Employees seem to leave company for a short period and come back just to acquire a higher position. - Unrealistic workload to headcount ratio: You are expected to handle workload of 2-3 headcount with hiring freeze due to cost-cutting measures and also additional task which is not within your job scope. - Processes: It is one of the company with the most redundant process which is not cost-time effective. - Disengaged Structure: Management knows of the issues faced by employees but not much solution is provided - Bad Retention: Company does not mind letting employees walk. There is no focus in trying to retain and nurture talent. They deem every employee easily replaceable. - Incapable Junior - Middle Management: Many Junior - Middle management position are awarded just for the sake of filling up the role. There is no review of the certain individual's capabilities before awarding them the position. - Unspoken Hierarchy: There is an abuse of position in the Junior - Middle Management level. Higher Management does not seem to condone the actions but rather let it run it's course.
