Pros

On paper?? Friday half day, Toy distribution. Good office location.

Cons

There is no half friday in India. Even on week days it doesn't close before 8.00pm. you are expected to be in office by 8.00 am. Your are clocking more than 70 hrs. Work life balance goes for toss when tour on phone and emails whole day on week days. Reported numbers are manipulated and not to be questioned. No ERP. Everything is excel based. Toys as a category is sinking.

Pros

You get to be the cool guy among your friends. Some indisputable brand equity here. Can work wonders on your resume.

Cons

They do a great job of making it look and sound like the best job out there. But it truly isn't. Top management has 0 direction and they make some of the most questionable hiring decisions at the top.
