Pros

Most of the people are great Good location Annual Christmas and Summer parties ain't bad

Cons

Like most of the reviews here, where to begin? This is not a position to work in for very long, eventually your life will be sucked out of you. Treated like children, worse actually. Being a graduate with no experience it was impossible for me to fully understand how poorly employees are treated here. The attitude is one of sell at all costs, lie as much as you need to, cheat your way to the top if thats what it takes. Borderline illegal methods used I believe. Standing up on your feet all day, not allowed to sit, not allowed to leave your desk, only one person from a bank able to use the restroom at a time. Lunch breaks often cut short to 30min if performance is poor. Many times we were forced to come in and work from 8am for weeks at a time.

Pros

1)You can chew pan inside office (nobody will bat an eye). 2)If you reach Team lead/APM position then you can pocket every person's refer bonus when he or she joins. 3)You will develop a thick skin 4)Sometimes you will get a 5-10℅hike. 5)You will learn how to google and how to pretend that you are working hard. 6)You will get to work with new people every month (cause so many people are leaving and joining all the time). If you are indifferent and feel no compassion/empathy, then congrats, this company is just for you. You will be an apm/team lead soon.

Cons

1)Unrealistic targets to make you work 10-12hrs a day. Anyone leaving earlier than that will have to face the flak and some contemptous looks from leads. 2)Only people who work for 10hrs a day minimum are hardworking in their opinion (even if the numbers say otherwise). 3)Appraisals are just a joke and the meeting doesnt take place even 30days after the deadline the HR sets (lol). 4)The management/managers/team leads only care about numbers (no matter what). Although they give great emphasis on quality (in meetings), they only care about quantity and mediocre quality. 5)Micromanagement. 6)No bonus no matter how much you contribute to the company. 7)No hikes, or very less hikes even if the company is making millions in profits. 8)Scope for growth is very less. Good for a year to get the experience to jump into other companies. 9)You will be in the same position doing the same redundant work for a lonnnng time. 9)No cab facility, too small caféteria. Dont join the company unless you have no other better options in hand.

Pros

Super database to learn about key aspects of pharma Little overload of work (tolerable) Good training for about 1-2 weeks and ongoing training Team outings and fun

Cons

Pay is low (but reasonable for pharma graduates considering the industry situation) No time for refreshment, you should work for entire office hours to meet your daily targets Hike is very less
