It's just a brand nothing else. They offer you good salary and designation so that you join, but they will ask you to leave the organization whenever they feel like with no reason. This month itself they asked there 35 employees to leave the organization as they realized that their head counts don't require this much employees.

Dislikes

Company is not up to the standards of other American companies, people treat work as first priority, they work to meet the deadlines to impress others hence messing up their work-life balance. Unnecessary meetings and no growth, everything here is in-house application which even mastered will not be useful outside. Everything even useless issues are treated as top priority, if you prefer a job/work which is to impress higher management by showing dominance rather than your talent then it will suit you.
