Pros

The only pro is that you get a good start for HR recruitment with big cliental name

Cons

Where to begin....!!!!! 1. FAKE INCENTIVE STRUCTURE: At the time of interview the head will provide you with all candy coated words of fake incentive that you will be getting apart from your salary. All this is fake and you don't get incentives so easily despite of your handwork. There is no proper duration as when your incentives would be credited. 2. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE: If you join this company then make sure that you will be made to work for long hours. They don't care if you have any personal life or not, all they care is about making you work with no consideration of other aspects of your life. No proper holiday list is given to you and you are only allowed to take 1 leave per month. If you take more than that (despite of telling your emergency situation!!) they will deduct your salary. If you don't take leave in that month it is not carried forward for easiness. 3. BIASINESS: It is one the prominent feature that you can see in the team. They will grill you by putting on old roles and expect you to deliver CVs there when whole market is tapped and search is exhausted. The manager will repeatedly ask for updates on hourly basis and will torture you by insulting infront of team. They don't seek updates from Managers and they are also spared from scolding and getting taunted. 4. UNNECCSSARY MEETINGS AND ACTIVITIES: Team meets and activities are done after work hours. In team meeting you are obligated to keep your camera on otherwise that will also come out as problem. They will inform you 10 mins before starting the meeting and won't bother if you are free or held up in situation or not. You have to attend meeting by hook or by crook. 5. DELUSIONAL WORDS: In interview the head will tell you that there is no pressure and they have very healthy office environment but truth to be told its all fake!!! You are required to deliver 2 cvs everyday and if you don't have cv for a day your name will be posted in bold letters on group. 6.HIGH ATTRITION RATE: Freshers , trainee and interns leave their team in 2-3 days as they torture them with high pressure and harsh words. Very toxic environment. 7. FAKE REVIEWS AND RATINGS: All the 4 stars you see here are posted by employees by forcing them to give review and rating them 4 stars. They also post fake reviews to keep their ratings high. Also they will force you to like and share their Linkedin post so to create maximum reach.

Pros

Nothing, no pros at all.

Cons

This was a call-center-type role with a strong focus on meeting candidate targets. If targets were not achieved, managers often applied excessive pressure, which created a stressful and toxic work environment. The overall culture felt unsupportive and negatively impacted employee morale.

Pros

I don’t see any at all

Cons

Role changes after joining: Employees may be hired for one role but reassigned to another due to sudden internal priority shifts. This creates confusion and instability from day one. Minimal onboarding: There is very limited training or structured support, even when responsibilities change unexpectedly. New joiners are expected to perform immediately without clear guidance. Unrealistic expectations: Performance expectations can be extremely high within very short timelines, making it difficult for new employees to succeed. Communication issues: Feedback can feel inconsistent or unclear, and conversations may sometimes lower employee confidence rather than support development. Compensation concerns: Employees may be told their salary is “too high” compared to others, which can create discomfort and discouragement. Hiring pattern observed: The company appears to prefer candidates who may accept lower-than-market salaries—often individuals returning to work or urgently needing a job. Confidence-reducing remarks during interviews seem to be a recurring pattern.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate all reviews as part of our continuous improvement process. Many candidates join us with prior experience and negotiate compensation based on the skills and role commitments discussed during interviews. Our expectations are aligned to those commitments. In some cases, however, we observe a gap between what was represented during the interview and actual performance after joining, despite extended support and training. We make sincere efforts to train, mentor, and, where possible, offer exposure to multiple roles to help individuals succeed. Role adjustments, when made, are intended to support both employee development and business needs. However, when performance or intent does not align despite repeated efforts, it becomes challenging to continue the engagement. We acknowledge there is always room to improve onboarding and communication, and we are actively working on strengthening these areas. We wish everyone the very best in their future endeavors.
