The first impression at the firm was very good. All the associates are very humble and very helpful.
I was asked to fill confidential and personal information forms and submit it along with a photocopy of Aadhaar card and confirmation email copy.
The office is situated in the basement of S-307, GK-1, and New Delhi. On entering the office there is a reception, a separate cubicle for the associates and a conference room, where interns are asked to sit and do the allotted work. I was asked to report the office at sharp 9 AM and I reached the office on time.
I was introduced to all the associates and my co interns by HR ma’am. All of them were very humble and friendly. After that we all were allocated our respective work.
