Pros
  • Food
  • Diversity of People and Culture
Cons

No assignment of work based on skillset. Just the requirement, and anybody with generic experience can onboard.

Middle Level to Top Manager completely involved in politics in promotions, bonus, favour for favour, hiring favours, etc.

Middle-level people from low-grade companies have less experience and come from less prestigious colleges.

Indian Managers are the worst to work with. All the above applies very much to them.

No HR support or any actions on any kind of exploitation, like overtime without pay, weekend work, and any kind of compliance is not followed in terms of labor law.

Advice to Management

Check out the workforce efficiency. Who's contributing how much and in what manner.
