Pros

Join only if you have a higher pay or a good bank balance or a secondary source of income and enjoy a 6 hr work day. 1. Company's management says since we can't give you a good hike we compensate on low work hours - 6 per day or in some case even less 2. Time flexibility. 3. Join only if you dnt have a job or getting a long term on-site opportunity.

Cons

1. Shrinking client base 2. Genpact still believes headstrong is a bpo and treats it with same way. 3. Three month notice period. 4. Company infra needs a drastic upgrade. 5. 5-6% hike in appraisal until u resign. 6. Low no. of leaves in a year. 7. Manager is ur bhagya vidhata. 8 .management is only concerned about project margins. Employees welfare is at backseat. 9. Low employee insurance amount. 10. Good for nothing HR. Tells u white lies, even on mails at the time of joining. 11. Good for nothing sales team.
