Pros

Takes the current virus strain very seriously, repeat reminder for cleanliness in the office, that’s about it.

Cons

The plays for favouritism is very obvious, time and effort doesn’t pay off, book licking does.. once employer locked their eyes of disgruntled against you. You will not have an easy time there. And those employees who are in the goods of the bosses will take themselves as a higher authority over you. And make it known and bosses watch as the newbies get lectured in a nonsensical manner and turn a blind eye and sometimes even smirk, it’s a small group of staff here some of the staff here are here to beat down the newbies to climb up to the top to boot lick their boss, shaming colleagues loudly so all managers can hear “this person” made a mistake. Some mistakes can be adjusted right on the spot yet those bootlicker will go through the trouble of letting the boss know FIRST before coming over to the person who made the mistake. It’s a very toxic environment. So those would are keen to join the company. Please join only you’re willing to bootlick your way, if you’re not going to boot lick, you’ll be probably be doing what I’m doing now. Looking for job opportunities after wasting your time and knowing your effort is not seen by the company.

Pros

This is totally garbage company to work with totally time waste . If someone reason your stupid enough to say yes and recruit yourself(like me) biggest mistake you ever done and they will not hesitate to kill by disgusting msg if you don't obey their words I should say more like a BULLY so at least think a million times before joining as employee

Cons

Management- Absolutely Pathetic .Dictator style of Management that has no idea about his job and keeps bullying and harassing all techincal guys to cover up for the self- incompetency and zero knowledge about how to run the Organization. Few people are given important roles in the office because of their apparent closeness to Management 1) No evaluation methods, they fire people if they don't like your face 2) You may be fired at any time without prior notice beware of this 3) HR professionals are horrible arrogant no respect to employees 4) JOB security is very very low 5) Unproessional people at top level 6) Many more to say but beware of this company,never ever join this hell 7) The technology sector of this company is run by a unprofessional people 8) Like BPO, they do hiring & firing in Technology as well.I have seen more than 9 fired in last 6 months. 9) Leadership does not have correct strategy to make it better, infact its going worse 10) Candidtae having good profile does not even come for the interviews
