Pros

During my time at [Previous Organization], I appreciated several positive aspects. The organization offers an excellent work-life balance, which contributed significantly to employee well-being. The campus itself is outstanding, easily deserving a 10/10 rating. Additionally, the leave policy and salary are both commendable, providing a supportive and rewarding work environment.

Cons

During my time at PGS, I encountered significant challenges due to the management team, particularly the managers and team leads. The environment was plagued by extensive internal politics, which led to considerable mental harassment for many employees. The lack of supportive leadership and transparent communication severely impacted the overall work atmosphere and employee morale.
