Process
It was very informal. There was no scheduling and just random calls over WhatsApp. The HR is very, very rude. The HR doesn't answer any queries and doesn't bother explaining the details, but just wants candidates to join for the peanuts they're paying.

3. There is a good work life balance.
4. The company takes care of employees.
5. You are given opportunities to grow.
Cons: As an AE you have immense opportunities to learn but the work load is not very much.
