Good on Resume but bad work culture
Pros: 1. Decent package
2. Employee benefits
3. Brand name
Cons: 1. Internal politics
2. Zero initial training
3. People are not at all helpful.
4. No team spirit (more competition and less collaboration) 
5. Nobody tells you the process. No single point of contact.
6. Gender discrimination (even senior lady employees are struggling to prove themselves)
7. In-depth hierarchy (you can't do anything if your manager thinks you are not meeting expectations, which can even be to "act" working for 16 hrs regularly)
8. Appraisal system is not at all justified and also unfair (for a small appraisal you will be given the answer that "you are already earning a lot")
9. 360-degree review is a joke.
10. Also, a cherry on the cream - some people can't control themselves in office-party and won't mind grabbing you after a few drinks.
