Dislikes

If you are not favourite to your employer or overachiver you cant get leaves, not more than 2 days leave is allowed . People who are adventurous cant work in this company as leave won't be there . SOP completion is necessary else everyday half day salary gets deducted. Senior Manager don't have much sympathy to people if there is any urgency of work . No work from home is provided . Even in the sick days you will be called office to work. NO Work life balance. It's welcome to hell ....Read More

What people are saying about upGrad

View All

I am considering switching my job from content writing to project coordinator. I currently have 45k in hand I have 1 year of experience in this field, and the company I am switching to is offering 20k. Should I consider the offer as I am completely fresher to the new job role?
