Pros

Can't name a single pro

Cons

Local management is laughable. I was brought on in a hurry and given a start date before the hiring process was complete. Meaning my first 5 days were unaccounted for. I was assured a wage within an acceptable range and then when the hiring process finalized, I was given minimum wage. The lack of intelligence in the location is staggering and the fact that they claim being inundated when their bulk of the tiny operation can be handled in a matter of a couple hours.

Pros

There is nothing problem in this company . The tech stack is outdated . The total company strength is 1600 still the attrition rate is too much high .

Cons

-No work life balance -Really low salary compared to even lower company - The location is really bed - Extreme micromanagement - I don't know how reviews are getting deleted but it's really bad -Lot of hiring since most of the people with real talent are moving with in 6 months to different organisation. Since no career growth . - Lot of work has be done manually where as even small startups are using automation tools . -Really a cheap company - Brother and sister please request you all if you are looking for something like career growth then please. Don't join here - If you can sit in office for 9 hours no matter whatever happens then it's good for you - Zero work from home , company suggests employees to work from office so that they can monitor and micromanage your every movement. Stay away guys
