Pros

- Fast growing company - A big brand in E-Commerce - Experience of big and multiple projects

Cons

Too much to mention! List will not end, still writing highlights : 1. Non-professionalism and politics everywhere 2. Had to work on weekends frequently 3. Worst HR policies seen till the date 4. Was not lucky to get good management persons 5. Experienced almost a mental harassment due to work pressure and managers' "extreme" discipline 6. Scolding/shouting on the floor (in front of ~50 people) 7. Mgmt persons' interference in personal life/phone/WhatsApp 8. Fake Gossips and Mind Poisoning 9. Worked overnight (16-18 hours) for 1-2 weeks without any extra benefits (Providing dinner was definitely not a benefit/compensation) 10. It's impossible that your leaves would get approved 11. Work-Life balance = That's not a thing here 12. Creating fake work pressure and forcing employees to stay late in the office There's a plethora of negative memories of FirstCry. I am glad and lucky enough that I resigned as soon as I got another offer and left FirstCry.

Pros

Salary gets credited on time.

Cons

Salary hikes are quite low, and the organizational hierarchy is very rigid, making direct communication with senior leadership difficult. Support from management is inconsistent, as some managers do not actively guide or support their teams. The work pressure is extremely high, which often results in many new joiners leaving within a few months to a year. Employee retention appears to be a challenge, with most long-term employees being part of higher management. Despite employees putting in their best efforts, the pressure to constantly deliver remains intense, with very little appreciation or recognition for hard work. Promotions also seem to be influenced more by favoritism than merit, which negatively impacts employee morale. Overall, the company culture lacks transparency, strong ethical values, and a healthy work environment.
