Pros

You’ll be benched for months and will not have any work to do.

Cons

Low pay, terrible management and you don’t have any idea what’s going on. For months I didn’t even know who my manager was. I also never got a raise

Pros

If you manage to survive here, you can be confident that you can survive anywhere else.

Cons

Job role given is not the same as the role advertised. HR is extremely unhelpful and actually quite revengeful. This company is currently under audit for various illegal exploits. Most staff are Tamil and quite racist towards non-tamil employees. If you're unfortunate enough to actually be put into a project, you will have no work life balance. They will work you till you are sick then penalize you for taking time off to recover.
