Pros

The working atmosphere is good. Most of people here are kind and friendly. People are allowed to make mistakes. However, the reason why people are allowed to make mistakes is because most of time they are not good at what they are doing. The worst part is the leaders are very UNPROFESSIONAL. If you are very junior, say just graduated from school, it's fine. If you are a person with several working experiences, it's not a good place to develop your career. And the salary is lower than the average one in its industry.

Cons

Internal communication is very bad. Most of team leaders are French. They are not open-minded and not willing to accept the reality that they need to learn new things to be able to keep up with the fast moving world.

Pros

1 - Independent Thinking is encouraged 2 - No spoon feeding 3 - Creativity is the only way. No SOPs which are adhered too. 4 - Customer Satisfaction is really taken seriously. 5 - You find your way around a problem 6 - Entrepreneurial Spirit - you manage your own business.

Cons

None for me. But for newcomers and experienced chaps from other companies - would be difficult to understand what this company is all about and the passionate people who work here.. We do not care if there are no ACs, no canteen, no fancy designations, no long working hours, monday morning blues... If you are passionate about sports and willing to work hard - then this is the place to grow. my advice - look at sports champions like tendulkar, federer, usain bolt - you think they cared if there were ACs, Canteens, 9-6 training hours...They had passion and wanted to succeed...If these values are not in sync with your values - Then very difficult for you and your project.

Pros

are u kidding me? The only pro is that whatever you do next is always gonna be better. Employee rapport is extremely good.

Cons

Its a company which fools sports passionate people into doing the job of a salesman. Say goodbye to your life.
