What's there not to dislike. Biggest issue is that there's no HR to raise ur concerns to. All they have is a portal and that too just for show.

Particularly from experience with my project, teammates are very helpful and supportive, there aren't any petty politics happening behind your back. They're flexible and understanding about work like balance and working hours.
Dislikes
Promotion and appraisal policy is not very optimal, sometimes I felt I am not duly compensated against my efforts. Job offers from other companies aren't matched and even early release is difficult to attain while being in a project.

Even after hard work and good performance and ratings, you will not get any promotion and the appraisal are very bad. There is no work life balance and there are always issues whenever you want leaves.

Nothing I liked. One of the torcher organisation. Making people to commit Suicide with their behaviour. No support from anyone.
Dislikes
One of the worst organisation I have worked in my entire life. With no good faculty no work support. Making human torcher with their work. Mis-using of all leads. There is no person who is ready to listen to agents. If we do anything or not it's completely comes under our fault. If you don't know anything if you ask its your fault.

Don't expect any appraisal or hikes or any benefits. And you have to follow strictly office timing there is no any exception. They are following some office politics and favorites. No leaves approval you have to beg for your leaves approval

Promotion cycle/criteria changes recently adopted (Internal Job Moves) - allowing supervisors to promote the resources to next level without a specific criteria. This is creating official platform for favourability.
