Pros

Can't think of any, to be honest

Cons

- They openly laugh at the idea of a work-life balance. Force you to work nights, weekends, etc. No wonder people leave (50%+ attrition rate year on year). - No sense of planning for work, my targets changed every month. - Very high attrition because of poor work culture, went through seven managerial changes in a year (hence the constant target changes as well). - They're great at selling products (revenue hungry) but very poor with delivery, especially in their social impact team. Quality of work was shoddy, but they didn't care as long as projected revenues remained high. - No pay transparency or parity. Despite being told that I was crucial to the team and had multiple attempts at retaining me, they made me the least paid member of the team (lower than others with less experience + qualifications) - Company is poor at management in every form. Was great at gaslighting people, though, and making them feel worthless (only reason people sticked around even for a year is because they were convinced that *they* were the problem, not the company). Despite multiple people pointing this as a reason for quitting, senior leadership did nothing about it.

Pros

Mediclaim, 5 Days week, Leaves

Cons

I don't know from where to start. Managers: managers are the worst. Don't have knowledge about new technology. and don't support. Seniors: More worst than Managers. They will not let you grow here. They find issues in your work. If no issues then give you their worst ideas and then say this the code. No matter how good you are, No matter how many years of experience you have. but they will feel you like you the fresher. You write optimise code then they will say you that make it simpler and larger instead of smart coding. and when you do larger code then they will say make it more optimized. You don't know what they will find in your code. Each time when you do anything they will find anything. or if not then they force you to do code as per their longest method. When you find anything in their code then they get angry and bring all your old issue to shut your mouth. When you ask anything to them they simply say.. "look in the code, Understand and then tell me too. So that you will get better knowledge about the product." All talented people are going because there is no growth. If you spend 10 years in the organization then still you have to do coding instead of managing the team. Team? What a joke. There is the complete team of IT. which is QA, UI Developer, Designer & Developer. and you know what how many people they have in this role? Only one. Which means you have to do coding, designing and then testing too. If you stuck at some point and ask help from your senior. They will give you their worst ideas on paper. Then say implement it. But when you try to explain technical issue they will get angry and say you that you are not able to do this simple task. If you can't do it let me know. And when you say I can't do this then again they come with the paper pen and again explain their same worst idea. Managers don't know about the product. they will ask you no matter if you have the idea or not or you join company recently or not but when you explain wrong they will blame you. Each manager/senior know about each other. But they are trying to save each other because they know no body will hire them based on their knowledge. Fresher have good technical skills but manager/senior don't have. NO any manager or senior is from the technical background. so you will face a lot of frustration to explain anything. No manager wants to do work. they just want to spend time and do their personal work. and pretend to be very busy. Timeline. HAHAHAA.. one manager will give the commitment that his team will complete the task in 2 days including development, testing. and then you have to come on weekends. If you are good in boot licking then only join.
