Dislikes
1. Number of new projects is less and hence getting relevant project as per your skills is difficult. 2.If your on bench unfortunately then getting project is also impossible. 3. There are projects which are short duration like 3 months to six months only. 4. Due to shorter duration of project, skills will not be improved and parallelly you will loose confidence because your skill set is decreasing month by month. 5. Some clients are very arrogant. Need to work in second shift. 6. No long term projects. 7. Not for 15 years plus level experience because existing employees are staying for long. These people won't allow you grow in career wise because they are in same position for long.
