Pros

I had an amazing team, and my manager was extremely supportive.

Cons

1. Cost-cutting is a norm here. Everything that is promised to you in your offer letter and HR interview will disappear into thin air because the company can't keep up and the upper management lacks business acumen. 2. The company tried to expand aggressively. Of course, it couldn't sustain because the courses aren't worth paying for. They are written by freshers, so you're essentially paying lakhs of rupees for something that they copy-pasted out of Google. 3. The company let go of hundreds of people a couple of months before their appraisals and bonus payout. But the most saddening and atrocious part is that the upper management has called the layoffs baseless rumors, which is NOT the case. "Layoffs are unfortunately withdrawal symptoms of founders being on steroids." Ronnie Screwvala said this 20 days before the company decided to dissolve teams, deem employees' contributions redundant, and lay hundreds of people off. Plus, the layoffs were done in an unethical manner. 4. The HR team is as directionless as they come. 5. The toilets in Lexington Tower are horrible, and mind you, horrible is an understatement.
