Nothing to really like.
Dislikes
Supervisors and managers are biased. No oportunities for skill development. People don't get promotion on time. Salary hike is not satisfactory. They negotiate on the no of days asked for leave. They ask for prescription every time someone asks for sick leave even for one day. Work life balance is a myth here. Office culture is terrible. Too much office politics. Micro management is their slogan. No on site opportunities....Read More

Its completely dependent on the Manager you are reporting to, but ideally the evironment is not great. The senior managment doesn't know how to lead by example. They are trying to enfore work, they are in frenzy
Dislikes
Senior management isn't great. They are just reacting to different situations, but ideally no proper governance.

Liked the policies that is shown publicly or that a employee will feel initially but later when employees faces problems there is no guidelines and proper accountability.
Dislikes
The internal policies and politics are very bad.
The managers are too arrogant. There is no way the employee can provide appraisal to the managers.
There should be a appraisal process for Managers from employees as some companies are having.
