Pros

If you like to learh Indlish...its ok !

Cons

Management Challenges: disorganized and lacking effective communication...favoring colleagues from same countries. Workload and Stress: high workloads and stressful environments. The management is disorganized and demanding and deff! The work-life balance is worst at VFS. Extremely long hours without adequate compensation. People who decide for salaries do not evaluate corectly, they just decide a number irrelevant with country median salary.
