Somewhat job security is there. Most of the projects are long term and stable. Salary at entry time is good. Encourages employees to take up paid certification which is reimbursed.

Dislikes
No promotion/hikes for last 3 years. Management doesn't care about good performers. HR is just a myth in this company. Client and company combined try to extract every ounce of work possible from a single person.

Dislikes
though you have wide range of projects, its hard to change. salary is not up to the mark when compared to industry. Hikes are very less. Very rare to see double digit hike. you never get on time promotions once you crossed 5+ years of experience.
