The culture is great and there's nothing much to dislike upon. Just a tip, if you want a 9-5 job with good pay scale, you should join Protiviti. Though the work you do will be very basic specially in PKIC. It is more of support role, but one will enjoy.

Day in day out it will affect personal life. Mental harrasement. Was told officially that during Durga puja if you don't come to office, your whole month salary will be deducted. I really like the concept. A 8th standard pass peon when tells you how to behave in office. When you will be told not to use the visitor's toilet because unofficially that washroom is used by the Director. When a Banayan, lingerie seller becomes associate director of the company then it shows hope for the peon to all the boot lickers

Nothing to dislike.
