Best place to learn and immerse yourself in true corporate culture. Focuses heavily on skill development and equips you with the tools and knowledge needed to excel in your career. Environment challenges you to push your limits, thrive under pressure and adapt to high stakes situations, ultimately making you job-ready for any role in the industry.

Dislikes

Job security is something lacking and favoritism occasionally influenced opportunities. Environment could feel highly controlled, making it difficult to speak and express opinions openly. Expectation to participate in all formal and informal team gatherings, which could sometimes feel obligatory rather than optional.

No transparency in appraisal and promotion. They try to keep the fear of job security on for all. LGBT is prompted a lot and being a part of these category helps with your growth.

The learning that you get from the firm as it's competitive

Zero work life balance, 10 hour shift mandatory and everyday people extend. You will get sick more often working here. they will not let you or your family, close associates trade in markets they make you close the demat account. Everything becomes compliance issue here. You feel there is no freedom.
