Pros

I can't think of any pros for the organization that blatantly cheats and misleads its prospective employees into a doldrum. This review is only applicable for the PACS L1 support team. Candidates are kept in the dark regarding the working days of the week and the shift hours. They are made to work in graveyard shifts during weekends without any benefit whatsoever.

Cons

Here goes the long list of cons applicable for the PACS L1 support team. 1. Lack of transparency on the shift timings. 2. Lack of transparency on the working days. After joining the team, told that the team works 24/7 including weekends and hence made us to work on weekends. 3. lack of basic facility provided during night shifts and on weekends. - No cafeteria access, No night shift allowance, No vending machine and neither does the milk get replenished to have a cup of tea/coffee to keep ourselves awake. 4. Lack of transparency on the job function. Hired people of software development background into a call center process. This was a horrendous experience after which my health and personal life took a severe beating.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
