Pros
None that justify the lack of transparency during the hiring process.
Cons
In my experience, the hiring process lacked transparency in ways that seriously affected my career. Here is exactly what happened:
1. The 3-month contract was never disclosed — even after I informed them I had a competing offer. I had two offers simultaneously — this company and a permanent, direct payroll position at an MNC. I clearly told them I was choosing their offer over the MNC role. At no point was it communicated that this was a short-term vendor placement. Instead, I was verbally assured of a transition to direct payroll within 6 months. I only found out the truth when I was placed on a 1-month notice after completing just 2 months.
2. The Appointment Letter contained significant new clauses not present in the Offer Letter. These were terms I would not have accepted had they been shown to me earlier.
3. No notice period was defined in any document. Neither the Offer Letter nor the Appointment Letter specified a notice period. This lack of clarity, in my experience, created uncertainty that never worked in my favour.
4. Full & Final Settlement took 70 days despite a 60-day clause in their own Appointment Letter. This required repeated follow-ups to receive money I was already owed.
Before signing anything, get these details clearly in writing: project duration, vendor vs. direct payroll status, notice period, and FNF timeline. If any of these are missing or vague in your documents — treat that as a red flag and ask for written clarification before making any decision or just RUN because then also it is not guranteed that they will follow the rules.
