Pros

Managers are good only if they are foreigners.

Cons

The organization has been completely hollowed out by a leadership team (shoutout to Anil Goel and the Byju's influx) that values loyalty over competence. Since the new leadership arrived, it’s become a "friends and family" club. Key management and HRBP roles aren't earned; they are handed out to people from their previous company. The strategy is clear: manufacture reasons to fire legacy employees and replace them with "the inner circle." If you aren't part of the old-boys' network, you are an outsider from day one. Hiring Bias: Punjab University or Bust Diversity and merit are dead here. Hiring for freshers and interns is blatantly biased toward one specific university in Punjab, completely ignoring top-tier talent from other well-known colleges. It’s not about what you know; it’s about where you went to school or who you know in the "inner circle." Structural Chaos & Job Insecurity Restructuring happens so often it feels like management is just playing Musical Chairs with people's careers. Stability is non-existent. The frequent shifts in reporting structures are designed to keep people off-balance and hide the lack of a real business strategy. The "In-Group" Protection During layoffs and performance reviews, the "core group" is untouchable. If you aren't part of the leadership's preferred clique, your head is always on the chopping block. Performance metrics are a joke—they are used as a weapon to push out anyone who doesn't fit the "culture" (which is actually just a synonym for "cronyism").

Pros

Flexible schedule. Primarily remote. Genuinely pleasant colleagues but few and in between.

Cons

Too lengthy to list but essentially a shell of a company with few redeeming qualities. Bait and switch hiring techniques. Very very high employee turnover. Nepotism is rampant. Churn and burn environment that spits you out like garbage. Please only accept a job here if you are desperate. I have no words to adequately describe this place. The worst company I have worked for in my 30 year experience as a working professional. Be prepared to work until you are running on fumes. If this review can save one person from working here, I have done my job on this green earth.
