Pros

This is strictly for KPO division, no idea about BPO 1. Great work life balance 2. Minimal interference by seniors while executing client deliverables, so long as the client is happy with work 3. Great atmosphere on the floor

Cons

This is strictly for KPO division, no idea about BPO 1. Declining client base, so not many new career opportunities to explore, and low visibility in future 2. Complicated appraisal process and even more complications in payout of variable pay 3. Nominal increments every year in mid single digits, so one's income is actually declining in real terms 4. Management expects us to adhere to client deadlines, while the management itself can't complete appraisals in preset timelines and the result is delayed payments. This happens every year without fail.

Pros

Remote work and great coworkers

Cons

Extremely low pay for the amount of work and the type of calls that you have to deal with. Lots of mircomanaging. Unrealistic metrics. Lack of knowledge and competency from leadership because at no point should your workers know more than you about the job itself. No care for unforseen life circumstances that affect your ability to work. Very stressful and mentally exhausting which often leads to burnout. No recognition for hard work and meeting metric goals. Too hard to get PTO approved. Tech and internal systems are always breaking which affects your ability to do your job. No one is ever on the same page which often leads to being given incorrect information. No room for growth or opportunities to go into other roles. Benefits are not that great. Mid health insurance plans, no 401K match, no parental leave, and no internet reimbursements. They'll sell you a fairytale in training so BEWARE.
