MNC benefits.

Dislikes

...you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company.

Only good thing is you will be having learning options as they have partnered with udemy. Although you will not get the time to increase your skill set and learn new things due to forced labour and extended shifts.

Dislikes

...so you will not be paid OT rather extra day. and that to 1/4 of your daily wage. So it is forced labour along with cut off pay. Please in management and superior role will harass you if you blow the whistle and eventually move you to PIP or force you to work for extended hours. No rewards and recognition provided even though you put your best of the best. Please join only if you want to suffer being in hell. It is the worst organization with zero preferences and values for the employees.

Initially we were very much happy to work with. However, work life balance and the amount of work is not satisfying compared to the pay. Considering the female associates wfh option should be made available which is a big drawback.
