Pros

Fresh graduates are welcomed with an attractive compensation package that reflects their potential.

Cons

The management style can feel quite micromanaging at times, leaving little room for employees to work independently or take ownership of their work. Communication between teams and leadership is often unclear, with important updates and decisions not being filtered down effectively to ground-level staff. Career progression can feel slow and uncertain, with limited clarity on how to move up within the organisation. The workload distribution is sometimes uneven, leading to burnout among certain teams while others remain underutilised. Training and development opportunities are not as structured as they could be, making it difficult for employees, especially freshers, to grow and upskill effectively. Additionally, the decision-making process tends to be slow and bureaucratic, which can be frustrating when trying to get things done quickly. Senior leaders are rarely seen on the floor and are completely disconnected from day to day reality. Instead of transparent communication from management, employees rely on rumours and hearsay to understand what is happening in the organisation. "Merit is Dead Here — Favouritism and Gender Bias Rule" The organisation falls severely short on basic employee welfare and fairness. There are no cab or transport services, no proper cafeteria, and company sponsored lunches are of disappointing quality leaving employees frustrated. Beyond the basic salary there are no additional perks, bonuses, or incentives to motivate staff. What is even more disheartening is that hardworking and genuinely deserving employees receive zero recognition — no certificates, no trophies, nothing — while those who are simply good at pleasing management get promoted within a short span. The promotion process is a joke, driven purely by favouritism and sycophantic behaviour rather than merit or performance. To make matters worse, gender bias is at its peak with leadership consistently favouring male employees over equally or more deserving female colleagues. It is deeply demoralising to work in an environment where hard work is invisible, fairness is nonexistent, and who you know matters far more than what you deliver. Overall, while there is potential, the organisation needs to invest more in its people, processes, and culture to truly thrive.
