Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.

Dislikes

1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.

...ransparency of work is there. You will get a decent hike as per market standard. Year end bonus is full. Work life balance is there but it will vary release to release. Colleagues and managers are easily approachable. Company overall maintain a good connection with employees. Hybrid work module is there. Flexible work hours. No strict durations of daily work.

Dislikes

Work life balance depends upon the team or product you're working. It will vary in situations. Sometimes releases are short but deliverables will be more. So you will get pressure. Some team management decision are made in US and controlled from there. Favoritism, partiality towards individual are there. So some situations you may feel upset, unsupported and disconnected. Work load balancing is not there. Managers need to make all efficient and maintain better ratio in head counts in different technologies. People, who are working less or get assigned less task due to average skills give good rating in work life balance. :-)

Good learning... Salary as per market.. No work life balance.. High work pressure.. They keep less resource for work... Just a typical service based company... No process I have seen in last 3 year... They call to work on weekends contneously and expect you to come other wise they threaten to meet the higher management for ur concern...or appraisal will be impacted... Manager driven company... Less job security... If u r a performer then they expect u to take the responsibility of team and u will be answerable for any escalation... Managers only maintains excel sheet and expect u to perform ur duty.. And do client follow up... ALWAYS OPT IT as LAST RESORT.. If no option left... Lastly no work from home at any cost.

Dislikes

Salary good to catch the talent to work for them.. They expect u to join in 1 month.. But they will not release u before 3 months.... On good note if manager releases u then u have to go for buy out for the days u r falling short of notice.. Means u have to pay salary from ur pocket for the day's u r leaving early....
