Pros
- In the beginning, it might seem nice that your workplace allows music to be played while you work and that you can troop in wearing what you wore to bed last night, but that changes—fast! - If you are lucky, you will meet amazing people while working there, but that is about it. If you have Lady Luck on your side, you will work with people who have the patience to teach you and guide you—if you are fresher—or will have colleagues you can respect. - Also, if you like listening to your voice echo (because of an empty space), the office would be your heaven.
Cons
The management here is awful. By that I mean, there is no management of funds, time, or resources. AT ALL. - You will get your work by lunch, if you are lucky, after which you will need to be faster than Flash to make sure you make submissions on time. - There are no added facilities. All you get here is drinking water (thankfully), work, and a place to pee. No tea or coffee and no kettle to even make water hot. - The salaries paid would make even peanuts look good. But then again, I've known people, who have gotten paid more than me, who couldn't even frame sentences properly. So, it comes down to luck, again. - APPRAISALS ARE A JOKE! These meetings are just gatherings of two or more managers and you. The managers tell you what you've done wrong, ignoring how much you've learned, the time you've spent everyday to make sure work was done, and what you've done well (like actually hitting insane targets when the need arose). During this same meeting, your personality might be brought up to, and how it doesn't command respect. Words like "sub-par" and "dispensable" are bound to crop up (as it has on three occasions that I know of). Once you've been brought down to the size of your salary (i.e. a peanut), they will offer you a low-ball amount. This is so that you would just be grateful to be offered so much, seeing that you can be replaced by someone from a talented pool of people. - The full-time post may as well be a contract post because no TDS is deducted, no insurance is offered, no HRA, nothing! - The profanity used when addressing employees, by managers, can make you question the integrity of the firm. (Note to company: NO WORKPLACE SHOULD BE OKAY WITH PROFANITY)
