Lot of office politics. The management is only bothered about there salary and growth and not at all bothered about what is good for business. Sharing your ideas of innovation and being transparent and honest might lead you to be targeted and eventually lead to termination. No job security as well.

Only good thing is WFH

Dislikes

...sional way of talking. The Team Leaders are useless as the A.M. runs the circus. Salary sucks. Workload is a lot. No Work-Life balance at all. Morning to midnight you only have to work by skipping meals only then the set target is achievable! They force you to work on Saturdays and Sundays and ask you to do 'CHARITY' for the company by not getting paid extra for working on the weekend.

The Work environment was friendly, no delay in salary payment. Fixed week offs and national holidays were provided for employees relief of stress. Company benifits were very good.

On time salaries are the only good thing

Dislikes

Selfish management, they just need a reason to deduct your variable pay, never join the reports team. No scope of growth because of their internal politics. They won't even waive off your target if the company is low on business and force you to consume your paid leaves from the kitty
