Pros

For Students, it is a nice place to learn. Probably a bit overpriced, but there is a real potential to build a career after studying there. Some of the faculty actually care about the students experience. Might meet a few great people in the staff.

Cons

I worked in the Marol Naka WeWork Building campus in Mumbai, India. Management in the Mumbai office has very little to no understanding of basic marketing or consumer economics. The desperation for sales in the office is barring the use of logic in conducting marketing activities. The sales strategies are very aggressive but the sales team will still have to take up Administration and Student Services responsibilities, while coping with daily pressures to meet unrealistic targets, due to mismanagement of human resources and improper hiring of employees. The management is a real issue though. Don't think the company will last past this year under this management as they don't seem familiar with the education industry at all. Pretty sure they think Education Service is an FMCG since such hard sales strategies are used. Just so there is an idea of what the work culture is, Warning Letters were handed out to every marketing and sales employee during the Covid-19 work from home phase for delays in work and inability to meet impossible and unthought out KPI's . No recognition or understanding is given if you are facing certain issues at home while trying to work. To receive such reprimands when trying to overcome new challenges and get work done, in my opinion, is completely undeserved.
