Pros

Good for fresh grad who want to start working.

Cons

KPI is hard to achieve ,and assessment is unfair that end up impact performance monthly and yearly. No skill, internal transfer is difficult even tho working for years , no career level. No MNC vibes , same stress like call centre . Watching disturbing content and not worth with the salary and compensation. Better work in some BPO.
