CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Onboarding program. Salary on time Free fruit and lunch GYM facility Good Medical insurance

Cons

No Job Security Afraid to allow employee to serve the notice period. Whenever you resigned .. that day would be your last working day I did not see any single guy who is serving the NP. your LWD firm will decide. anytime firm can fire you. 60-80% people resigned without any offer. No respect . Leader will play your dignity and respect .. they may start often insults you in meeting and make you life like Hell. HR is just a rubbar stamp... dont expect any help from them better to avoid this firm.

Pros

None to mention as pros

Cons

The place is filled with people who wants to please only their next level up and personal branding. If people had spent their efforts in growing the business, the company would have grown much better in financials
