Pros

Honestly, couldn’t find any real development work being done here. It’s mostly routine support tasks with no innovation or learning involved.

Cons

Toxic Work Culture Rooted in Favouritism: The work environment is dominated by office politics. Employees here seem more focused on playing the blame game and lobbying for promotions rather than delivering value. Constructive feedback is non-existent – instead, colleagues are quick to escalate petty issues to get into the good books of managers. Idle Senior Staff: A chunk of the senior workforce here behaves like they’re on a paid vacation. Their daily drill? Stroll into the office, dump their bags, and head straight for coffee. Extended "walks" in the name of lunch. Frequent snack breaks, tea breaks, gossip breaks – you name it. Lounge around chatting with friends instead of contributing. Vanish by 5 PM having done little to no actual work. Gossip-Driven Operations: Rather than collaborating, people thrive on backbiting. Managers entertain baseless complaints like: "He’s not regular in office." "She logs in late every day." "That guy isn’t delivering anything." This negativity is not just tolerated – it’s rewarded. Those who stir the pot are given performance rewards and favorable treatment, while genuine contributors either burn out or are forced into PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) cycles they don’t deserve.
