Nothing as such they will hire and fire.

Cons

Don't accept anything from company they don't give any kind of benifits apart from your salary. They will hire and fire if project will complete. If you will be on bench then they will not give salary as well. You will be always monitored through softwares like prohence. They will hire you and fire you within a month aslo. Don't join this company.

Pros

No Pros for this company. As it is mandatory to give overall rating, so I have given at least 1 star but my actual rating would be '0'.

Cons

1. There is no job security. 2. They will hire for a specific project and once the project is closed, the employee will be removed from the company without any prior notice. 3. If you are in probation period, then they will make you to write a resignation letter over a call and then they will send you out of the company on the same day. 4. Daily 8 productive hours mandatory in the office, other wise they will consider the day as LOP. 5. No benefits. 6. 5 day WFO. 7. There is a lot of micro management by tracking the apps that we browse on our system and also calculating the productive hours using a system software. 8. They will only consider regional people's opinions. especially Chennai location employees.
