Nothing. The Partners are not helpful at all. The Senior Partners show false hopes, hire people and kick them off whenever they want to. Your work life will have so much balance that you will only focus on “chilling.” It is firm of highly unprofessional people with no job security.

Work-life balance - Excellent

Dislikes

Everything. There is no transparency, appreciation of work. They hire talent and make them useless. Some of the partners are just female oriented-and they favour them.

The work opportunities are fine but not enough.

Dislikes

HR will take you out for no reason and will force you to leave. But while hiring they will beg you and treat you like anything. job on probation with no security can terminate randomly before probation. HR named Radhika and Esha are the worst just because we don't get rude that doesn't mean we don't know how you guys are unfairly dismissing us.
