...ced high employee attrition that increased from 10% in 2019 to over 30% in 2021. This was due to several factors, including layoffs under the CEO's cost-cutting plan, a merit-based pay system, and increased demand for niche digital skills.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.

Dislikes

Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.
