Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Vedantu's is good and product is ok but when you use to switch from byjus Center head manager will criticise you for no reason,in my case Center head-ARTI TANEJA and manager (TL)-HIMANSHU KUMAR they are ruining the whole system because Centre head is uses foul language and and our sale lead transfers to there old and ranking employee without any update no matter you put the task on it or not.
ARTI TANEJA-direct said (tu hai kaun)this kind of language she uses and for that me and my team reach out to HR and HR manager and regional head as well but only action took on us and gave us warning letter.


They won't let you survive in vedantu and won't let anyone to survive,
They will provide 12 to 15 leads and mostly 99% leads were already called multiple time and they want you to take 3 videocall session and that's is impossible,but if you are bow down everyday infront of them and listen foul language then they will maybe give you some good leads otherwise they won't let you survive there.


3 hours of talktime is compulsory if you can't achieve it then LOP,and for attendence they will tell you to talk to customer for long time or take 3 session for attendence.

The worst company ever and worst management and politics is disaster.

Just want to say that,while training period i was the best in my team,while shift on floor they just ruin my attitude and I was surviving then all because of TL and Centre head, because they are still learning how to convey the information to us,they are confused on there product.
NO PROFESSIONALISM
NO WORK CULTURE
NO MANAGEMENT
NO ONE WILL LISTEN YOUR ISSUES THERE
ONLY POLITICS IS EXISTING THERE
AND ALWAYS CRITICISE BYJUS FOR NO REASON,
BYJUS IS THE BEST COMPANY AND I AM PROUD TO BE A EMPLOYEES OF BYJUS❤️
