Pros
• Company provides all required work assets, including paid subscriptions • MD was polite and occasionally took employees out for lunch on special occasions
Cons
• Poor work-life balance despite official working hours of 10am–7pm • Even when I consistently tried to leave on time, it was rarely possible; the earliest I could usually leave was around 7:30pm, and that was uncommon • Most employees regularly stayed until 8pm or later • Some teams frequently worked until 10pm–12am • Office politics at senior levels negatively affected employees • Leave approval process was extremely difficult and stressful • Probation periods were sometimes extended beyond the stated 6 months (I knew employees who remained on probation for 8–9 months) I resigned during my probation after receiving a better opportunity. Although I was not legally required to serve a notice period, my family was contacted and pressured regarding this, which felt unprofessional.
