Pros

Good IT support - they provide latest laptops and hand-held devices, high speed internet reimbursement to ensure you work seamlessly after the office.

Cons

Mismanaged off-shore delivery model leads to long waiting time and affects work-life balance. In fact, for most there is no life left with work taking a toll on your health and life. Transportation issues have been persistent with employees facing difficulties with poor management. HR is controlled autocratically with ridiculous employee policies. The managers in India office are ineffective and there is very poor organizational health-check.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
