Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing i can think of, it was good earlier now is just like any other Service company

Cons

There is no appraisal hike in this company, so whether you work your 16 hours a day or just do bare minimum. It doesn't really matter. So you can get stuck at a salary, if you don't get promoted or their is a market correctness exercise not happening. Promotion can be very challenging with the politics and super weird process they have. Managers are in complete control of your career, so bootlicking is a must here to survive and progress.

Pros

started here as an intern and was given the opportunity to learn, grow, and eventually transition into a permanent role. The company provides a supportive environment where colleagues feel more like family, making it comfortable to ask questions and learn from one another.

Cons

workload can be heavy at times, especially during peak periods, but it remains manageable with proper prioritization and teamwork.
