Pros

Not Applicable Here. You better be jobless rather than joining here.

Cons

- Its a trap and you will regret joining here in very short time. - 2 years bond for junior level employees or those who wish to travel US for a month. - You will loose all your earnings if you wish to leave the company during your initial 2 years. - Working hours are almost 24x7. Avg office timings are from morning 9:30 to midnight. You might need to stretch till next morning as every project is critical and in crisis all the time as deadlines are not realistic and projects runs under high pressure and behind the schedule from very first day. - You will get paid way way below standards and will never get variable pay component as well. - Micro Management. Keeping track of every second. You need to log a reason if you are away from your machine even for a official discussion/meeting. - No personal life at all. Higher management adds you on social network to keep track of your personal/social life as well and will monitor your activities online time etc. - No policies at all. You will have no clue about any rules and regulations at any time. - You may get fired without certificates/letters if your performance is not up to their expectations. - They have 2 months notice period. You need to pay 3 months gross salary as a buy out amount even if you served a month or more and you wish to get relieved just before few days. - You will not get any reply from HR/Finance team for your queries or FNF.

Pros

Exposure, responsibilities, some of the people.

Cons

Management is horrible, clique-ey and says things like “We’re a family” so they can abuse you. They make books like love as a business language and the ceo tried to milk how terrible of a leader he was in an attempt to virtue signal his book. Not kind people. Manipulative and snake like.
