It was so lame that many a times my guide who teach us had been changed and was not able to go on training in a proper way. There is so much stress like you don't know what to study but you should prepare by yourself and no help in doubts as guide is new everytime. Like my friends had good guide but i was the unlucky one i think.

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).

the unwanted politics amongst seniors to bully their juniors, i was kind of harassed by newly appoiinted manager. Supercedness by seniors; ignoring the situations, dedicatedly commiting on everything to the client requirement without consulting with team members who actually knows what the scenario and work is.

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.

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.
