Nothing, except you get to learn new technologies, though no hands on experience. Upskilling is a part of your yearly goals

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

10hrs working officially instead of 9hrs, above that you will always end up working more than 12hrs, leaves more than 2 days never gets approved, poor ratings and hence no bonus and increment, leadership will talk in a bossy tone and full micro management.
