Pros

I recently joined Great West Global. Process is well defined, clear and more easy from beginning till on-boarding. There was no waiting period in each stage. Next steps are well informed. I joined company during covid 19 pandemic time. Even in this bad time HR team made all the efforts to make me comfortable and easy. Summary: * Well defined interview and joining process * Great package and benefits * Got good team

Cons

As i joined recently i couldn't notice cons but few things needs to be improved * IT Process (getting required software, access to DB, Environments e.t.c)
