Pros

*Some people leaders are good *3 days work from home ( could be better for flexibility if without anchor days ) *Both side cab ( this might change as per cost cutting ) *Good food ( this might change as per cost cutting )

Cons

* Working now for 4 skill sets due to merger of various profiles but pay is not at all in line with expertise to appreciate or as per market standards as now handling 4 types of calls. *Have been joining pre-shift for at least half hour daily for since COVID. This is beyond my working hours as per agreement. This is without any additional payout which is not fair at all and also not allowed as per Indian labour laws. *Calling to work from office and mandating lan connection not easy as finding working lan system is quite a challenge. *IJP - filled about 50 ijp's out of which 45 rejected with standard response. Often got to know that promotions are pre decided. Does not matter to me as am a hard working person and keep giving my best at level I am. *New dell laptop has serious vpn speed issues over 5g. Lots of my colleagues have same issues. Please provide right tools as this is hampering customer experience. Test these with home wifi. *As I have experience with multiple people leaders - some people leaders argue for leaves even if it is medical emergency in family. Often they say they have already 2 leaves in team which are planned. Please suggest how to plan medical emergencies or sick leave ? *A very serious concern - manager being gender bias - male managers giving female employees extra training time and less work. Having chit chat time with female employees vs. male workers working. This feels to me like I am not working in a diverse environment. *Company does not beleive in retaining talent with compensation benefit but believe in hiring new talent at high packages.

Pros

Good benefits such as: - Private medical insurance - Private dental insurance - Flexibility to fit work around my schedule, such as doctor appointments etc.

Cons

- No sense of team, it feels like everyone for themselves. In most cases people don't even say hello in the office. - Senior decisions that don't make sense, such as mandatory office days even if no one you work with will ever be in the same office. - Recruitment process is probably the worse I've ever come across. It took over 4 months and I had to keep chasing to find out what was happening. - Laptops severely restricted on what you can access, which sometimes can make researching the web for information difficult.
