Pros

Hybrid model for now Good Managers

Cons

The work environment here is extremely challenging and unprofessional, making it difficult to maintain productivity or morale. I would not recommend this company to others due to the negative atmosphere and lack of support.

Pros

I don’t see any pros.

Cons

No work life balance Management is worst and do not maintain transparency Capability manager and HR is a joke here. Hikes and compensation does not go in line with the current inflation but they expect us to work as if they pay rightfully Threats for every thing. I won’t wonder if they make it a rule that if you sneeze, it’s against the policy
