Pros

really hard to find one

Cons

I have made a GDPR request to retrieve all the information the company holds on me. They replied saying they won't provide the data since I will use it to take them to court. ICO confirmed that the GDPR requests must be treated purpose blind and companies have to provide the data regardless. I have raised a formal complaint with the Data Office in VFS and will wait 30 days according to ICO rules and take them to court. While I was working there, I was asked to provide false information to an ISO auditor in order for Vdash to take BCG as a client. The management style is very top-down. Bosses expect to rain and they order should be followed without questioning. There is a lot of legal corner-cutting in this company. Take a job only if you need to pay the bills, otherwise, just look for something else.

Pros

the team are well versed with the work undertaken.

Cons

if you cannot speak hindi then you will not excel in this company, the company has hired south Asians only, most of the higher managers are on H1B visas, very much toxic work environment where the managers are expected to work on weekends and holidays.
