Pros

Good pay but they really make you work for every penny.

Cons

The worst. Zero work life balance. I was promised a 9 hour/5 day work ween but they made it a 6 day week while keeping the hours same. On paper it's 9 hours a day but you'll be working close to 12-14 hours. It's rare that you'll even get one whole day off in a week. They'll expect you to be available well before and after your working hours. The top management sets very unreasonable targets and give you very little time to plan so you'll be expected to work day and night just to get called out when it inevitable fails. They have this terrible YouTube Festival concept every single week so you can say bye to your weekend plans. They tell you that they care about you, that they value their employees and they constantly preach about mental health and then they'll take away your weekends and grill you all week. The HR is pretty useless and will never help. Just pretty promises and 'We love our employees' presentations every other week. The managers are clueless and some of the dumbest people you'll ever meet. You can find solace in the fact that almost everyone working there feels the same way and is suffering.

Pros

People are good. Friendly and Supportive.

Cons

1. Terrible work-life balance. You'll be treated as a slave. You'll have to work out of your personal time frequently. 2. Terrible leadership. No respect or empathy. You are treated as a robot. They ask for feedback just to throw it in the bin. They have unrealistic expectations and no stable vision. 3. No work freedom. You can't do your best work because estimates are so tight. If you give a proper estimate, it is frowned upon. Add to that micro management. 4. If you think managers can do anything to change any of the above, forget about it because leadership is deaf. There are 2 types of people who work here: 1. Who hate the work culture and secretly looking out. 2. Who hate the work culture but love their salary more, so not looking out right now. Advice to people looking to join: 1. Don't join. There are better companies with same or better pay and culture. 2. If you absolutely have to join, don't settle here, keep looking out and beware of low balled offers.

Pros

Salary is good, average. Incentive structure is good

Cons

From where should i start, there are various points. I joined in early May, at that time they were asking for 3 hrs of talktime, after that it was 4 and now some days the management asks for 5 hrs also. Management is very biased. High politics. No personal life. They ask to work from 9am - 9pm calling every Monday as a Big day. They ask to work on public holidays and then promises to give comp-off's which they dont give. They dont allow us to take Period leaves, even after they have separate leave. Male managers forces to work on period leave and Sick leave. If 5 hrs of talktime is not achieved they ask to stretch till 9-10 pm. Managers takes meetings at 9am - 9 30 am which is not at all professional as work time starts at 10. If you are achieving your targets still they will cut down your incentives just because you didnt do your 4-5 hrs of talktime. Not so good to join.
