Pros

Pay Package - not sure how long will they pay Joining Bonus

Cons

Terminating people is very high during probation and are asked to payback the joining bonus No work from home at all , they will agree before joining later on will tell about SEZ policy No flexibility, No onsite they hire people with high experience and are asked to go before probation or extension of probation, in turn asked to return the joining bonus No promotion for 4 years of joining and promotion depends based on the role availability - so forget it. They talk worldclass facility but it is as same as any service company Please don't ruin your career joining here, offer is too sweet to revoke at the same time think about the risk of losing the job (which is very high) and getting another job with shell pay is again a big challenge

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
