when i started working with this company , on the initial 6 months of training, they neither taught us anything nor gave any task to do 🤣

Dislikes

...fore completing a year they will fire us with lame excuses like bad performance. so they can avoid paying us the retention bonus which is a promised 50,000 which was in the offer letter. even people working in the company are not getting the retention bonus even after for 6 months after completing 1 year in the company. very pathetic experience working with nest digital
