Nothing much to be honest. The pay is good for a fresher but then you realize that the growth is stringent.
Like the work. But the culture is extremely toxic.
Dislikes
Zero Work-life balance.
Passive aggressive micro managing bosses.

Too much of work pressure. Zero work life balance (expected to work most of the weekends). Micromanagement at peak. The managers are unempathetic and would create a fuss if you tend to take unplanned leaves.

Decently Good projects is the only good thing but this company is on decline
Dislikes
It is taken for granted that you should work for 13-14 hours a day including weekends. Not a single penny is paid for the extra work you do. Laid back attitude of management and exploitative nature makes it difficult to survive. There is no HR in this company and they exploit each employee day in day out. Managers call you anytime and ask you to work. At the end of the year they won't give anyone decent rating so that hikes need not be given. Every project is under crunched timelines which you need to deliver even if you die. No professionalism at all....Read More
