Colleagues are good and very co-operative.
Dislikes
There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

review depends on the office coming time even 10mins delay will be considered as bad mark.

You'll go school everyday and work for 10hr but your salary will credited for 9hr, high level of micromanagement, you are notified supposed to take leave irrespective of any scenario (Parental leave or even your own family died) they'll convince you to take leave for 2-5days only.
Everyday there will be special warning session with management for 1 hrs with whole floor (e.g, if you are not meeting up the target you'll be sacked, etc etc)...Read More

No promotions. I have seen people waiting 8 years to be promoted.
No job security if you are on bench.
No good projects in infrastructure domain for career growth.
No skill development. No encouragement to develop cross domain skills.
Last but not the least, too much of favouritism based on region and language you speak. Atleast it was in my case.
