They don't event respect contract employee even though they are senior's than on roll employees. If they any lag in your task they won't even inform you or discuss with you 1 to 1, straight away they will ask you to leave not even considering about the employee life.

If you are not satisfied with anything here that's all depends on your reporing manager. Since my reporing manager is below average, my bonus salary hike is worst, and promotion never think of it even if I stay here for next 3 years.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.
Dislikes
Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.

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.
