Pros

1. Work life balance is good (If you agree to work on weekends..)

Cons

1. Hikes & incentives are applicable only if u achieve ur 100% target (not even 90% is acceptable). They won’t tell you while recruiting you. 2.You will be on PEP if you don’t achieve 100% target 3.Your target changes every month based on ur managers deficit. 4. Your manager will be behind you everytime threatening about PEP and termination. 5. Worst of all is even during this corona Outbreak, there is no relaxation in targets. And they asked me to bring more clients and get offers though everything is shut down for a month. 6. Too much of micromanagement. 7.You have to update ur work in excel, then explain to your manager and send the same in mail.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
