Dislikes
The company lacks job security , as employees can be asked to leave abruptly without prior notice , career growth and promotions are not based on individual's skills, performance or contributions but rater depend on office politics and favoritism.

1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

...fe balance, can work from all around the India with limited time in the company. As much I heard salary benefits are nice. LTIMindtree is one of the company which has a good talk about job security of an employee. It has food benifits and travel benifits as similar to other companies. As a fresher I can share this much only.
