Pros

There are no PRO's in the company.

Cons

This company treats Indian employees as nothing more than cheap offshore labor. There is zero respect for talent, experience, or contribution. Leadership’s recent visit to the Mumbai office was a calculated manipulation exercise, not a genuine attempt to improve anything. Management deliberately conducted one-on-one meetings to extract information, build false trust, and create expectations they had no intention of honoring. They later claimed employees were only “a penny behind the market,” which is either gross incompetence or a deliberate lie. Using that excuse, they carried out a fake “market correction” that amounted to nothing more than rounding off salaries by an insignificant amount. This was a dirty, deceptive tactic meant to silence employees while trying to improve their image.It insults basic intelligence and shows how little management thinks of its Indian workforce. Promises were made openly and then broken without accountability or transparency. The leadership lacks integrity, ethics, and credibility. Morale is low because employees now clearly see the pattern: listen, pretend, extract value, and do nothing. If exploitation wrapped in corporate language is your idea of culture, then this company is consistent — but it is absolutely not a place for professionals who expect fairness or honesty

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad the clients, the hours and the WFH flexibility are working for you. That's exactly what our Anytime Anywhere policy is meant to make possible. On the bonus front, there's actually more available than it might seem day-to-day. We have a few different bonus opportunities tied to things like referrals, new business and earning professional designations. Our HR Business Partners are happy to walk through what you might be eligible for! Thanks for being part of the team and for the honest feedback on the office, too.
