Pros

3 Years Wasted – No Growth, No Respect, No Learning

Cons

(1) Favoritism & Buttering: Only 2–3 favorite people get praised and promoted. Others are ignored no matter how hard they work. (2) Clueless Leadership: TLs and Managers act like gods but don’t know basic operations or tools. (3) Mental Torture: No respect from seniors. Constant pressure, micromanagement, and humiliation. (4) Toxic Work Culture:  • Backstabbing  • Jealousy  • Arrogance everywhere  • No real teamwork or collaboration (5) Worst Tracking Tool: Analysts’ every move is tracked by the dumbest software. TLs and Managers don’t have to use it. (6) Double Standards:  • (6.1) Analysts must follow 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM strictly  • (6.2) TLs & Managers come late at 11 and leave early at 3 or 4 with fake excuses like “stakeholder calls” (7) Fake Transparency: Policies and processes are all talk with no real action. (8) Horrible Colleagues: Especially the “favorite gang” — arrogant, unskilled, and toxic. (9) Demand & Supply Team = Chaos:  • No schedule or planning  • Anyone can be pulled in anytime without notice (10) QC Team = Useless: Some have 5+ years but still can’t use basic Excel formulas. (11) Promotions = Buttering: Skill and performance don’t matter. It’s all about flattering your TL. (12) No Career Growth:  • No training  • No mentorship  • No recognition  • Just stress and confusion (13) Judgment Based on Face, Not Performance: TLs support only those they personally like. (14) Fake Work-Life Balance: Long hours, mental stress, and zero appreciation. (15) Unprofessional Communication: Managers talk down to employees like they own them. (16) Nothing Worth Gaining:  • No learning  • No growth  • No peace of mind

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
