Pros

Nothing to think of PROS

Cons

1. Chennai Management team works as they are the rulers of the world. 2. Very cheap mentality towards the employees outside of Chennai. 3. Policies regarding OnCall Allowance was created in 1950s and not updated after that, home labor earns more money than this.
