Depends on the day and/or hour lol

If you can handle the fire drills without constantly being stressed it has its perks. Some weeks you work until 2-3am every night and then the next couple you can take mid day naps and burn some leftover hours from 18 hour days. Really depends on how you can manage the stress. Unfortunately you can get months of banker level hours and only be compensated at slightly above an auditor for self starter/constantly changing work.

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.
