You'll go school everyday and work for 10hr but your salary will credited for 9hr, high level of micromanagement, you are notified supposed to take leave irrespective of any scenario (Parental leave or even your own family died) they'll convince you to take leave for 2-5days only. Everyday there will be special warning session with management for 1 hrs with whole floor (e.g, if you are not meeting up the target you'll be sacked, etc etc)

Definitely the perks they provide, the salary structure for LS associates is uneven and much lower than market standards. There was a issue with timing of appraisal, which was fixed, even for that a poor appraisal was provided.
