Pros

Nothing significant to mention other than gaining experience in how not to manage people.

Cons

Extremely toxic leadership, especially from the CTO (Salman Yousaf). Employees are treated like personal servants rather than professionals. Unrealistic expectations and deadlines are forced upon staff. Saying "no" to unreasonable requests leads to personal grudges. Retaliation is common – tasks are deliberately assigned to set employees up for failure, and biased performance reviews follow. No concept of work-life balance, respect, or fair treatment. Growth opportunities are non-existent as favoritism overrides merit.

Pros

The employees are incredibly cooperative and supportive, which made the work environment better.

Cons

Salaries are often delayed with no clear communication from management. Absolutely no additional benefits aside from lunch. The CTO is self-centered, leading to decisions that aren't employee-focused. Favoritism is rampant, which demotivates the team. The Project Manager lacks proper team management skills and mostly just pressures employees without offering proper guidance. Regular late sittings without any extra pay or compensation.

Pros

Some seniors was very cooperative, but they ultimately left because of management.

Cons

late salaries. politics. humiliate ex-employees to make them self-righteous in the mind of current employees, they really don't care about their clients, just try to get as much as money they can. Management is cult. never follow right practices . always on juGar policy.
