Pros

Salary on time , free transportation service

Cons

1. There is favoritism in everything, only those who nod to everything that their manager says would be considered as best employees, there is no value for your skills or expertise. 2. Poor HR policies, and unstructured business. B.com graduate can be manager of a CA. 3. No work life balance office timings are 1:30 to 10:30 after which manager expects you to login and stay awake till 4/5 am to be in his good books. 4. There is no job security, they lay off employees whenever they want. Notice period is very subjective, they can release in 8 days they can hold for 3 months. 5. Manager talks about incentives and variable pay in public and threatens you directly/ indirectly. As if its coming directly out of his pocket. It feels like you are working on wages. 6. Forget about professionalism, very uncultured and uncivilized people to work with. 7. They do not let you to take any decision, they have control on everything you do. You need permission of your supervisor to send teams message or an email. In this frustrating environment they expect you to grow, be bold and move fast ( these are company values is what they preach) . Move fast is only one which I personally found useful and I moved out of the organization :D

Pros

Relaxed work environment Supportive offshore managers Cab facility available

Cons

Upskilling is difficult; even basic certifications require multiple approvals. Onshore managers are not from your domain, making it hard for freshers to get technical guidance. For IT roles (like Microsoft stack), you’ll often be the sole contributor with limited peer learning. IT is treated as a support function in a manufacturing firm, so growth opportunities are limited. Work is from office; WFH requires manager’s approval and isn’t standard. Variable pay was not paid out last financial year, despite HR assuring otherwise at the time of hiring— always get such promises in writing. Hike process is unclear and lazy; even with good ratings, you won’t get a straight answer on how hike % is decided.
