Pros

You want to do some side work, Like in office time you want to do property dealing business, want to run travel agency/or ticket booking services, run online music classes, training on technical skills or have some full time hobby like running, event management. The most supporting factor you will get is flat leadership structure. On top you will see Fish lovers, below them wide layer ( firewall) of Local talent (normally understand local language only) and at bottom mix of non Maharastrians. One last tip if you want best ratings or any useless award , Speak More in big meetings or gathering, you will earn brownie points easily. So decide, if you have no other choices and you are little money minded, don’t miss this golden opportunity. After all No Risk No Rewards

Cons

Think Carefully before joining , if you want to learn new skill or domain knowledge, want to go onsite, want to have clear goals to achieve, want to work professionally(non political, performance driven, Not Yes Boss type), want to have career aspiration to achieve something meaningful in life. If you taken risk already and want to revert your decision, the notice period is only one month (The Best Perk).

Pros

PFG provided excellent training from day one, until the day I left. I always felt like I was being treated like a professional. The benefits were excellent, and there were frequent reviews of our performance. I also believed that the company was reputable, and treated their clients with respect too.

Cons

As far as the company is concerned, there weren't really any cons. I didn't happen to like what I did, but that was not the company's fault.
