Dislikes

Lately there has been frequent org rearrangements. Managers are never satisfied. Team changes are with immediate effect and quarter reviews are reduced. Managers are more focussed on delivering unattainable ETAs. Career growth wise feels like we are stagnant. All this can vary depending on the team you are in and how your manager is.

You always feel great about company but assured you not more than 4 days. Reality starts hitting you.

Dislikes

No promotion even you work hard enough. Promotions purely based upon management not on your expertise in subject. For instance, someone looks like a important person that needs to remained intact for few more years then probably they will get you promoted.
