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.

...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.
