1) Appraisal not guaranteed each year. 2) Brillio works as staffing firm and you will be hired to working for other organisation as their contract employee. 3) Brillio Offices are in only 4 locations in India. Need to work in Distributed team. 4) Job security might be a concern if you are not getting billing on customer project for a long time.

salary structure is on lucrative side as they show high salary structure by 24% variable pay in your package. but sometimes you only get 12-15% Promotion cycle is very slow. If you are deserving candidate and you are continuously getting good client feed back, still you have to wait till eternity 😅 for your turn to come. Depends on project account completely
