Pros

1. The covid leave of 10 weeks , reimbursement of vaccine and reimbursement of 10k per dependent or self with covid. This was a really supportive step. 2. Not much hassle with regards to leaves 3. People were friendly, the associates and AC. Not the consultant though. 4. If you want to go for an MBA kind of study then it's a good option to work here.

Cons

1. Super insulting. These insults by my consultant motivated me to change jobs with 250% hike, more than what an average ZS AC makes and close to that of a consultant. On their face. Happy working 60 hours week for the US people for a mere salary. 2. The more you work the more you learn. Lol. Working at 12AM on Friday night. Or receiving zoom calls at 2AM. Dude, those people who work there are slaves. They don't have a life and they consider no one should have a life. And for what? That mere average salary? 3. A personal opinion, but who enjoys making powerpoint presentation as the sole aim of life? Working 12-14 hours a day for a ppt. Lol.
