Business Outlook

Pros

There are some really good colleagues to work with.

Cons

Disappointed with the persistent changes and complex structure, further exacerbated by the inadequate performance of the HR team and the operation leadership team. The continual reorganizations disrupt workflows, create uncertainty, and unfortunately, the HR & leadership teams seem ill-prepared to navigate these challenges. The ongoing shifts and matrixed structure contribute to role ambiguity, hindering collaboration and diminishing overall employee satisfaction. Regrettably, the shortcomings in the HR team's performance, coupled with poor leadership in operations, exacerbate these issues.

Pros

-Access to big clients, sometimes interesting work. -Nice colleagues

Cons

-Workload is consistently and unmanageably high. -Training non-existent throughout tenure, while performance expectations are high. -HR seem to have little agency or purpose beyond administrating and safeguarding decisions by senior management, regardless of the ethics of the situation. -Pay is at the lower-end of market rate.

Pros

Except infrastructure Nothing is good. If you want to spoil your health, relationship with family and friends then you can join. Best suitable for orphans. Because you will be working in a extreme pressure environment. Better not to join if you have a family depending on your earnings. Don't get attracted with salary, because you will be working minimum 12 hours excluding your travelling time. Beware before joining. This is my biggest blunder mistake I did and repenting now.

Cons

You can find world's worst Management. No safety for job, today you are appointed tomorrow without notice you are terminated. Work like a Donkey. Forget spending time with your family. Lot of employees were attacked with BP & Diabetes. No respect towards employees.
