...trictly enforced. No fixed hours to spend in office, that depends between teams. promotions and pay cycles depends on your importance and how good the team is doing in the organisation. managers are helpful and respectful towards employees in general. one have scope and opportunity to grow skills, contribute to open source, blogs, disclosures.

Dislikes

Internal movement between teams is almost always a fight. Often people are made to work in mixed bag of tasks/technologies, that might make one a jack of all trades and makes specialisation in one/some skillset go away.

... of micro management if you perform well and client is satisfied with your work. Pay is on time. Variable pay is in line with other firms. Hybrid policy is good. 2 days a week with 6 hours minimum. However I hear if you are on bench you have to come everyday.

Dislikes

Increment percentage can be better. Doesn't even cover half the CPI inflation. Practice and project have separate hierarchy at senior level which makes it difficult at the time of appraisal since the guy reviewing you doesn't work with you on a daily basis and has little knowledge about what value you bring to the customer. Practice folks have their own targets which have nothing to do with project goals and engineers end up being pulled in different directions. Due to this the good people who like to keep their head down and work suffer at the time of appraisal. You have to work extra hard just to be noticed. For the sake of billing, senior folks are put in projects where the customer wants them as individual contributor but the organisation folks questions them saying that they should be leading large teams. But customer obviously won't release you and neither change your role. So you are stuck. Sick leave policy needs to be improved. I should be able to take a day off without producing a doctor certificate. Feels like I am back to school Office infra can be improved. Essential hardware like monitor, keyboard and mouse should be provided to everyone.
