Dependent on project your work life balance is good.

Dislikes

Working hours you need to stay 10 hours in the office (9 AM to 7 PM). This year hike percentage is very very worst. Compared to previous year's hike percentage. Work life balance is dependent upon the project. Every weekend you need to login if you are in support project. 6 th day allowance is less. Rating is not straight forward. Always they will give preference to their state peoples.

Likes

Flexibility of extended remote work

Dislikes

The management is never in the favour of its employees. You will not get any benefits apart from the extra work that you have to do everyday. The appraisal is very less and on some years they delay it. I got a rating of 5/5 and my delayed appraisal for this year was 8% They will never release you from the project even if you're unhappy in it. You'll be forced to resign in the situation.
