Pros

9-6 job environment -Great amenities -Amazing employment engagement activities -Colleagues at associate level are co-operative -On time salary -5 days working

Cons

The list is endless -The managers are highly unprofessional and unethical -Team leads are for namesake. They have hardly any authority when it comes to important decision making -No separate set of sick leaves. They make people's life hell if they go on an unplanned leave due to health reasons and expect to procure medical documents every time as proof -The assistant manager is highly indecisive and incompetent. The person hardly ever finds time to do some actual work without anyone's technical assistance and also has the audacity to put the phone on speaker and chit chat. On top of it, expects others to not use phones on the floor -None of the managers have a technical qualification suited to this industry and hence are unable to understand the gaps in the workflow and concerns of the employees regarding the process. -Favoritism and biased behavior is rampant in this team -Targets are a joke. Nobody is bothered about the un-qced quality of work. -Star awards and hats-off cards are given as per the whims and fancies of the managers -Besides, lack of integrity is at such a level that the hats-off cards are written by a single person in the name of managers. The manager writes cards himself only for his set of special people. -No transparency in appraisals. People with the same rating end up with different level of hikes in the salary. Instead of pressurizing the employees to keep their appraisals confidential, they should actually consider being fair once a while. -Despite many employees raising the above concerns, the HR doesn't seem to act on it.

Pros

The people are nice although there are quite a few cliques within the business. The dress code is relaxed but it's important to be smart casual when working there.

Cons

Too much micromanagement of employees, leads to work taking too long to process. As a business there seems to be a significant risk averseness when it comes to making important decisions within the organisation. This could be perceived as a lack of trust towards employees. The IT system is also notoriously slow and compared to other major organisations is archaic.
