Worst company, hell lot of discrimination between India and Manila. Management is worst and just care about how to loot money from client and warm their own pockets. No work life balance, worst of its kind.

...nuses and no extra benefits apart from a health insurance coverage of 2.5 lakhs. There’s no annual salary increase, and if they do provide one, it will be a minimal raise of just 500 rupees per month every two years.
