Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don’t Go to this Workplace, I suggest,
They will not tell you but there is
Late salary,
Late working hours even if you come office early,
They have 5 days working but they still give work on Saturdays also for Sundays,
They do big team but the office is small, no place to think creatively.
Also the main thing i said earlier, they give salary LATE, usually salary comes on 10th day of any month, but this company gives salary on 20th day or sometimes late,
SO ITS UPTO YOU, I suggest there are many good companies you can go for, but dont try here 🙏🏻
