Pros

Zero pro's found till date

Cons

HR resorts to all sorts of lies while hiring (false package, false shift timings, false profile, false job title, false growth opportunities, false onshore opportunities, false shift allowance, false benefit plan - just a few listed) HR has absolutely no responsibility of what they claim.. they can even say that you are hired for CEO post and decline later A portion of HR activities have been outsourced to some 3rd party who have no clue on what are the HR policies of the company Zero culture, zero employee engagement, zero encouragement, zero involvement No career discussions, just add more work (implied as career growth) Poor management of conflicts (Management has no interest in resolving conflicts.. they are only concerned about workload being completed or not) Pathetic infrastructure.. Low quality food in vending machines and smelly unclean restrooms Zero opportunity for onshore jobs Closed door policy, employees treated as slaves No Overtime allowance Management also does not approve Comp off's even when you have worked on a holiday When you are sick, management tries to threaten you about year end performance and how it will be affected Only those people who have skills to butter the management can grow, if you are extremely good at work and fail to apply butter, you stand no chance for growth

Pros

Remote work is (rarely) an option, though the approval process is extremely slow and bureaucratic. There are a few well-meaning colleagues who genuinely try to drive positive change before burning out.

Cons

Onboarding and HR processes are severely broken, taking 11 months to approve remote status and failing to prepare basic equipment for day one. The workplace culture is deeply hostile, with anger and yelling functioning as the default communication style across teams. Leadership turnover is rampant, resulting in constant re-organizations, splintered teams, and a total lack of strategic direction. Role clarity is non-existent, forcing employees to invent their own daily tasks while receiving entirely contradictory instructions. Direct management is completely absent; I went seven months without any contact from my boss before being laid off via a three-word instant message and short call.
