1. Delayed Salary Increments: The process of salary increments is often delayed, which impacts motivation and financial planning. 2. High Salary Deductions: The deductions, particularly compared to other companies in the industry, are noticeably higher. For instance, the medical insurance deduction of ₹2.4k per month is quite steep. 3. Extended Working Hours: While the official working hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, in reality, employees are expected to work from 8:10 AM until around 9:00 PM on most days, leading to a poor work-life balance. 4. Unsatisfactory Canteen Food: The quality of the food provided in the canteen leaves much to be desired, contributing to an overall negative daily experience. Uncomfortable workspace
