Pros
- Some of the processes were highly complicated and demanding, so just working there for a few months was as good as getting trained in an Army camp. And, because of this conditioning, you became super fit mentally to put up with pressure for prolonged periods of time, something that stays with you for the rest of your career. To quote an example: After my stint in C-cubed, I went along with my dream of transitioning into a well established MNC and managed to land a lucrative role too. The first thing I noticed was the fact that day to day routine at this new work place seemed like hell for almost all the employees. But, during my very first week after training, I was asked by my boss if I am able to cope up with the demanding and high-pressure routine and my immediate response was to laugh out loud and ask 'What pressure' as it all seemed like a cakewalk. For me, it was a cakewalk in the literal sense and all thanks to my stint in C-Cubed and I went on to give a gist of my old work routine (6 days / week and on an average putting in a minimum of 12-14 hours of work /day and sometimes you had to push yourself and to let go of the weekly off also to meet the high volume of work, my record at the time was going 3 months straight without a day off). My boss was literally zapped and jokingly said that as a part of the training strategy, all new recruits should be placed in C-cubed to go through the grind for a minimum of 3 months and only the ones surviving those 3 months would should get an offer.
Cons
1) It is not for everyone - only for the persevering and tough ones. 2) Pay was not on par with work, it seemed alright but could have been better.
