Worst work culture. Micromanagement. Fake scrum. A healthcare company which make you sick.

Pros

Don't join this company. Your life would be hell as mine. Too much work pressure. They give you random work without any proper requirements and keep on buzzing you to finish it and threaten you in calls. Your sleep cycle would be disturbed.

Cons

Zero collaboration. Old employees sucks, they are not approachable. Scrum master not aware of scrum and only job of his is to pressurize employees to work. You would be blamed unnecessarily always.
