Pros

None that stood out during my time with the company.

Cons

Job security is a concern, as employees may be terminated with little notice or clear justification. Salary deductions are handled very strictly and can feel excessive and unfair compared to stated policies. HR lacks professionalism and demonstrates limited understanding of basic HR functions and employee rights. Employees are repeatedly redirected between HR and management, resulting in no accountability or proper resolution of issues. Favoritism and unequal treatment are noticeable and negatively impact morale and fairness in the workplace. Internal communication and processes are inconsistent, unclear, and poorly implemented.

Pros

Providing proper systems and tools should not be considered a “pro” of the organization—it is a basic requirement for ensuring productivity and enabling employees to perform their roles effectively.

Cons

The organization appears to have a recurring pattern of terminating employees every six months. Many of those affected are experienced professionals who have been with the company for a significant period and possess strong skill sets. Although a performance review system has been implemented, its effectiveness is questionable. In several cases, the process seems to be manipulated by team leads within specific domains, which undermines fairness and transparency. The introduction of the sub-lead structure has not delivered the intended results. Many sub-leads lack the necessary experience and expertise to manage team members effectively. This has led to situations where personal factors such as ego and internal conflicts influence decisions, rather than objective performance criteria. Overall, there is a need for more transparent evaluation processes, stronger leadership accountability, and better-qualified management roles to ensure a healthier and more productive work environment.
