Pros

-Good Salary -Good Perks like free lunch, dinner and snacks. Free Cab facility, a flight ticket worth $250/year. -If lucky, may get chance to work in US for long terms.

Cons

-Hell lot of politics. -Lot of work pressure, not because of work but because of a boss to whom you cannot say no. -Favouritism culture.

We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our benefits package (particularly our travel reimbursement programme!) but sorry to hear that you feel under pressure. We encourage open and candid dialogue and would always ask you to speak to someone in the HR team if you feel pressured or unsure of job responsibilities.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
