Pros

*On-time salary and reimbursement * Transport * Officespace

Cons

*HR and Managers are not aligned with each other because of that the hiring is very bad. *Work culture is pathetic, people think its good from the outside but inside its hell *They say everyone is a team member but Managers create a hierarchy within the team and don't want people to approach them. *Not employee friendly at all, during COVID times they want employees to come to the office to collect laptops or any other things. * WFH not allowed from hometown even in COVID times and no one wants to discuss about this one.

Pros

There was a nice painting on the wall in our office.

Cons

They have a culture of coaching by intimidation. If you’re salary they will pay you 40 hours per weeks and work you 60 hours per week. Sales expectations are unrealistic.
