Axtria has a good wfh policy. Not the best but somewhat better than some other company. You can work from all 5 locations in India.

Not good salary hikes from past 2-3 years. No stocks. No perks. No learning if you are not in a good project which is rare. Biased managers and work environment.

- Flexibility to work from home/office - Has all the required technical arsenals to compete with the best of its competitors - Provides competitive compensation packages that align with market standards for Accenture Operations. Don't have idea about technology and consulting businesses

- The company places limited emphasis on employee development, leaving much of the responsibility for skill-building to individual employees. While virtual training can be effective for technical skills, it may not be as beneficial for developing soft skills - Due to aggressive competition, speed often takes precedence over quality. This leads to unreasonable contractual terms and a disconnect between promised deliverables and actual results

Work culture is great. There is lot of effort & importance given to training & reskilling.
Dislikes
Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.
