Pros

Cab and meal service. Provides 3 time meal.

Cons

The only reason people stay here long-term is because managers and directors overload employees, leaving little time to switch jobs or learn new skills. Leadership often demeans employees, micromanages work, and even monitors screens, creating a discouraging environment. The work is slow-paced with excessive approvals, yet daily issues still arise due to poor design. Even small implementations are split into multiple microservices, making them difficult to manage and leading to frequent production problems. Systems are inefficient, and the IT team behaves like post office employees. Employees are sometimes required to log in from home to collaborate with US teams. Despite mandating four days in the office, there is no proper workspace—resulting in overcrowded lifts, pantry, and cafeteria. Basic amenities are lacking, and employees even have to wash their own mugs.
