Mostly, we work on cutting edge technology
Dislikes
I dislike toxic managers like Vikas Malhotra - who promotes only favoritism. He tends to recognize colleagues based on personal preferences rather than their talents and capabilities. He promotes only those who praise him, while the rest of us suffer under his leadership. This environment is not conducive to growth or collaboration, and I believe it impacts team morale negatively.
