Pros

Nothing , Only suggestion is not to join this company.

Cons

> Sub-standard work quality, wont recommend any one to join > Employees are not provided with opportunity to grow. Incompetent leads , good for nothing > Irregular and ambiguous appraisal cycles > Favoritism and Preferential treatment for most of the employees > Higher management can go back on there words anytime, they will promise bonus and by the end of year nothing will be provided. > No Transparency in management decisions made. > Awful work culture, with worst HR policies Like no carry forward of leaves > Even if you are working from home for lets say 3 hours that as well needs to be tracked via Leave management system > A Product based company where higher management belongs to a service based , hence don't expect any perks of a product based firm. > Micromanagement , you are bound to spent 9 hours at office excluding the time spent at washrooms. > Employees are treated as mere resources, even house keeping staff where they have to deliver chai, water etc to Higher management rooms
