Thank you for your feedback and apologies for having you to go through not so good experience about referrals. Our referral program is very transparent. As part of referral program, Associates need to upload the resume against each open position online and similarly TA team does the same. We do explain to associate if there are any anomalies. Towards referral program, we have rewarded more than 100 associates and we also reward those who share more than 10 relevant profiles matching the JD.

Pros

Amazing team—very collaborative, supportive, and welcoming from day one. Strong leadership, my manager is incredibly supportive and gives you autonomy to take ownership and bring new ideas forward. There is a well-structured environment—processes are clear, well explained and continuously improving. Great opportunities to learn; many trainings and tools available to support professional growth. People genuinely care about each other and create a positive work environment.

Cons

In some cases, coordination across teams can take extra time
