You get to work on a lot of projects which develops your skill set.

Dislikes

There is no work life balance. You might be working like 70 hours a week without any overtime compensation. Girls also stay late sometimes till midgnight and project lead does not bother asking how will they go home, they have to take Uber at midnight and get a call from security to ask whether they have reached home or not (which doesn't make the travel safe). Projects have less than half of the manhours actually required to complete the task which leaves no choice but to work day and night. On the top of it, you don't get much support from your team leaders, neither technical nor managerial. Appraisals are political rather than talent/performance based. You get along with your teammates very well because all are in the same boat.

Salary on time.

Dislikes

Bad work life balance. Very bad health insurance, will recommend to buy a personal health insurance. Insurance guys don't give you the claim and HRs won't help. There is a HR policy that employees can't work more than 56 hours a week to maintain work life balance. But what happens is you will work more than 56hours can won't be allowed to book more than 56 hours. LOL
