Pros

Nothing comes in my mind

Cons

I rarely write reviews, but my experience here was so frustrating and disheartening that I feel obligated to warn others. 1. Salary always late Imagine receiving your salary at 11PM on the 7th. Every month feels like a gamble, and it’s incredibly stressful. A company that can’t even pay employees on time already shows its priorities. 2. No benefits whatsoever There used to be WFH flexibility, but once the new management came in, even that was taken away. There are literally 0 benefits working here—no health benefits, no allowances, nothing. 3. Management constantly changes rules Policies change overnight, and they adjust the rules however they want just to make employees’ lives harder. It feels like everything is tailor-made to benefit management, not the people doing the work. 4. “Office” is a joke They promised a proper office, but what we got was one small room with no monitors, no proper workspace, and no decent place to eat. The food options nearby are ridiculously expensive. 5. No increments allowed Even if you deserve it and have proven yourself, they simply say no. They don’t believe in rewarding hard work. 6. Salary disputes for no valid reason They refuse to pay people and then hide behind show cause letters. When certain employees they “like” do the same thing, they keep quiet. It’s unfair and demoralising. 7. Hiring decisions purely for cheap labour They openly prefer hiring cheaper labour just to save costs, instead of valuing experienced, loyal employees. 8. No career progression Don’t expect to grow here. They’re not interested in developing talent, well, only in finding the cheapest workforce possible. 9. Unrealistic job scopes Your job title means nothing. You might be hired as a QA, but you’ll also end up doing PM, PO, Scrum Master, and whatever else they feel like assigning. It’s exploitation, not growth. 10. No work-life balance at all Even when you’re on leave, they will still contact you. They expect you to be available 24/7, like you don’t have a life outside work. 11. Last-minute meetings & unpaid overtime Meetings are always last minute. You’ll stay back after working hours and won’t be paid a single cent for it. 12. Forced weekend work Even though it’s not in the offer letter, they’ll still ask you to work weekends. If you refuse, HR will hunt you down. 13. HR treats people terribly HR behaves in the most unprofessional way possible—talking down to employees, threatening people, and treating staff like they’re not even human. Overall: Working here took a serious toll on my mental and emotional well-being. The lack of respect, instability, and exploitation says everything about the company culture. I genuinely hope no one else has to go through what I and many others did.

Pros

- Opportunity to gain end-to-end exposure to HRMS implementation projects, including requirements gathering, UAT, training, and go-live activities. - Supportive teammates who are willing to help when challenges arise. - Good environment for learning multiple roles, including project management, quality assurance, client communication, and product implementation. - Employees are given ownership and exposure to real client projects early in their tenure. - Opportunity to work with a variety of clients and industries.

Cons

- Following the leadership transition in 2025, there appeared to be a gap in product and industry knowledge at the executive level during the initial transition period. - Some client-facing discussions could have benefited from closer collaboration with existing product and technical leaders who possessed deeper historical and product knowledge. - The transition created uncertainty among some employees and clients regarding the company's strategic direction and product vision. - Changes in management style and working culture may not have aligned with the expectations of long-serving employees.

Pros

1. Joined in 2024 when the environment was still relatively manageable. 2. Team members were generally supportive and easy to work with. 3. The role originally offered remote work flexibility, which was one of the main reasons I accepted the position. 4. Had opportunities to join client discussions directly as a developer, which gave exposure beyond purely technical work. 5. Learned to handle multiple responsibilities and gained experience working across different areas.

Cons

Things changed significantly after the management restructuring in 2025. 1. Remote work flexibility was gradually removed, and employees were suddenly expected to come to the office regularly despite originally being hired under remote arrangements. 2. No travel allowance or transportation support was provided after the switch to office work, which increased personal expenses considerably. 3. Did not receive any increment after the first year despite taking on more responsibilities and client-facing work. 4. Salary payments were frequently delayed, creating stress and uncertainty every month. 5. Policies and expectations often changed without proper communication or discussion. 6. HR and management communication frequently felt unprofessional, dismissive, and overly aggressive instead of constructive. 7. Employees were expected to stay reachable after working hours, during leave, and sometimes even on weekends. 8. Benefits and employee welfare were almost nonexistent.
