Pros

it was my first job so obviously that is the only reason I always will pay gratitude towards this company. for me this is the only good point

Cons

Management is pathetic. Favoritism is at its height, if you favorite of the manager or the lead then you ill get to learn a lot, you will get opportunities on working on multiple tasks and if you are not then you are totally ignored, and this favoritism is on the basis of how your personnel relations are with them. Professionalism is zero, people use words like "Anna" for there managers which is completely non professional. the management or leads will never praise you no matter how much work you do, for the manager the first impression is the last impression no matter how fast you grow they will always consider your first impression in mind. the team leads just wanted to have a good impression in front of the management and for that they won't mind hiding there mistakes and putting all the blames over the associates. if you are in GDME team the another team will always mock you that you do nothing. no matter how much hard work you do how much long hours you work, your manager & project head will just come and say infront of the whole office that this team is useless it do nothing only few people work and they are only doing everything

Pros

1)You can chew pan inside office (nobody will bat an eye). 2)If you reach Team lead/APM position then you can pocket every person's refer bonus when he or she joins. 3)You will develop a thick skin 4)Sometimes you will get a 5-10℅hike. 5)You will learn how to google and how to pretend that you are working hard. 6)You will get to work with new people every month (cause so many people are leaving and joining all the time). If you are indifferent and feel no compassion/empathy, then congrats, this company is just for you. You will be an apm/team lead soon.

Cons

1)Unrealistic targets to make you work 10-12hrs a day. Anyone leaving earlier than that will have to face the flak and some contemptous looks from leads. 2)Only people who work for 10hrs a day minimum are hardworking in their opinion (even if the numbers say otherwise). 3)Appraisals are just a joke and the meeting doesnt take place even 30days after the deadline the HR sets (lol). 4)The management/managers/team leads only care about numbers (no matter what). Although they give great emphasis on quality (in meetings), they only care about quantity and mediocre quality. 5)Micromanagement. 6)No bonus no matter how much you contribute to the company. 7)No hikes, or very less hikes even if the company is making millions in profits. 8)Scope for growth is very less. Good for a year to get the experience to jump into other companies. 9)You will be in the same position doing the same redundant work for a lonnnng time. 9)No cab facility, too small caféteria. Dont join the company unless you have no other better options in hand.

Pros

1. You can learn innovative ways to avoid work 2. Will learn office politics very quickly 3. Soon develop thick skin

Cons

Cannot be finished. But here are the major ones: 1. The HR will outright lie to you about package when they need to recruit you. They will talk about your package and bonus separately, even though they will include it in the salary. HR will tell you that average hike is 10% minimum, but at the time of appraisal, you will not get more than 3-3.5% hike. 2. Management treats everyone like dogs. Most of senior managers are coming from similar backgrounds so have not learnt anything better, in terms of behavior. 3. Everyone in the management wants to show off their skills. So, policies and work style will keep on changing every few months. 4. Strike system - if you do not reach office by 9:15 AM, three such misses will deduct half day of your leave. 5. Frequent churning. No job security and the company goes on splitting itself. 6. Almost all non-office websites are blocked. Even yatra and IRCTC. If there is an emergency at home and one needs to buy ticket, it will not be possible. 7. Management and HR create fake profiles in Glassdoor and Naukri to track whether employees are trying to get jobs outside.
