Good work culture. Teammates and managers are helpful. You get paid of each extra minute you work for, as incentives. There's a cafeteria with free breakfast. There's a beautiful terrace for coffee time. You can either work from office or actually anywhere in the world. As long as you get the work done, noone interferes in your work. There are exciting events almost every month. There's no strict dress code. Company provides a to and fro cab service from Andheri station. Basically, it's a cool place to work at....Read More

There's just too much work and too less time. There's not even enough time to finish the client work. On top of it, you are given extra tasks in the day. So if you want to finish on time, you will need to rush through and probably end up compromising quality. Here, your performance is mostly time based and not skill based.
There's no yearly bonus.
You are not allowed to take public holidays. You have to tell your manager that you need it and they will decide if you can take a leave depending on the capacity of the team on that particular day. Also, it is first ask first get for holiday leaves.
Since performance is time-based, and increment is performance-based, you end up with meagre increment.
You will need to work one Saturday per month no matter what....Read More

A mediocre company operating with a flawed business model.
Dislikes
Upskilling opportunities are nonexistent, while politics among senior employees dominate. There are no perks or chances for promotion—just a culture of favoritism and monopoly by long-standing employees. It’s not a place to learn or grow, making it a complete waste of time.
