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.

After giving training in academy, there are lot of irregularities in project allocation. Joiners have to wait for 1-6 weeks for projects and also some problems after that. They also don't allow them to report from home during this waiting period (where they are just sitting idle for days).

No work-life balance. you need to work like a machine no matter day or night. Still gets very less hikes and that too after too much delays. If your project is completed so as you are. You'll be removed from org. On investment on employee engagement and no proper promotion and hikes.
