Pros
The only pro is that if you’re lucky enough your manager might be in a good mood and will be understanding. Else there isn’t really many pros.
Cons
- lack of work-life balance: with or without work from home Mindcrest doesn’t really provide an environment for work life balance. Managers tend to call you up if you aren’t available a few minutes after they ping you. -Zero compensation for overtime: you will expected to work and consistently meet quality requirements even on your worst days. You will not be compensated fairly at all for the amount of time you will spend working nor will you be adequately appreciated. They’ll just send out an email or two stating a few names who did well for the month. But then the names are limited to two names per team just for the sake of it. No employee support: this isn’t company to join if you have a family, health issues both physical and mental, and in general if you want to have a life. The insurance doesn’t really cover much though it boasts a lot. The process to claim it takes forever and you can’t really access proper insurance information as it’s not posted on the company’s website. If you fall sick and use all your medical and vacation leaves you’ll have to sacrifice your salary for each day you extend your leave to get better. This is especially difficult if you’re the sole earning member of your family. Plus you will have no leaves left for any future purposes. You can’t disclose your personal problems to them in hopes of understanding because as stated before they’ll be good and understanding managers but they might not have your best interest in heart. Even if you overcome your problems and decide to go all in for your work no matter how sincere they’ll still deny your appraisals. Lack of employment benefits: though it constantly boasts of being an international company with fairly good clients the amount of benefits they provide to an employee equivalent to factory workers (although some of them do get compensated better) incentives are limited. Both pre-pandemic and post-pandemic. They really just want their work done and are least bothered if you’re satisfied or happy with the work. Questioning them tends to put you on their bad side. They genuinely prefer people who ask little to no questions and want workers to work like robots (honestly, don’t be fooled by the nice managers who are asking about your health, they’re just doing their part, they aren’t remotely bothered.) they put up an understanding forefront but that’s it. Internal Job Posting, incentives, and salary hikes: virtually non-existent incentives and salary hikes unless your lucky or your manager favours you (yes a lot of companies do have favoritism but it’s the worst here) an entire team had to resign for them to actually increase everyone’s salary until then there was no such action. As previously mentioned if you have a life, family, or health issues just forget about the hikes in appraisals because you’re an inconvenience to them. Internal job posting is highly volatile and either favouritism or complete lack of common sense influence their choices.
