It involves in setting up and exam room before the exam, being vigilant and performing administrative tasks during exam and evaluating performance post exam.

Invigilators do travel to other states of India to perform same work (company paid expense) (currently COVID-19 restrictions apply).

It is not recommended especially for senior people above 40 years of age to apply for freelance jobs in this organization

Invigilator (Former Employee) - Bengaluru, Karnataka - October 18, 2020

Frankly speaking, it is not a place for senior people to work for such an organization albeit as a freelancer. The supervisors are mostly much younger people with the typical "corporate" attitude. Mostly, they work fulltime in IT and other good companies and supervise test events during the weekends. And dont ask about the attitude of these guys and girls. They treat the invigilators (who are also freelancers like them) very cheaply. They are admonished and humiliated for silly reasons.The sad part is that the top management monitors all these things sitting either in Chennai or somewhere in Gurgaon. They are eventually bothered about conducting the test events seamlessly without the slightest concern about the working conditions of the ground level staff. Taking advantage of this, the supervisors play their game of politics and dictatorship to the maximum extent possible. Hence I wouldn't recommend people especially people above 40 years applying for freelance jobs in this organization.

Pros

Nothing worth mentioning

Cons

Politics, Immature supervisors, Totally Opaque organization

No scope of growth

Marketing (Current Employee) - New Delhi, Delhi - March 22, 2020

The company is archaic in its policies and processes. If you are ambitious and want to grow in your field, this is not the place for you. There is clear demarcation and disconnect between senior management team and the on ground team and under the garb of collaboration, the pace of work suffers.

Overall a great experience

English Speaking Teacher (Former Employee) - Delhi - January 29, 2020

It was a bit hectic for the teacher as well as the students as the timings were from 8am to 2 pm and we have to take sessions continuously with just 2 breaks of 10 mins and one 20 min break. Otherwise the learning outcomes were great and ot was a great experience.
