Work life balance & If worked hard promotions are easy. Salary is fine but can be better on non technical roles.

Dislikes

Huge gap in salary for technical vs non technical roles. Salary for BA4 at technical is equivalent to salary of AVP of non technical.

The company is open to innovation and readily adopts latest technology. I love the fact that I am a part of a team that markets reliable, high-quality products and has a global client base. As a result, I get to travel abroad, especially to the US and Canada. But on-site travel is completely dependent on your project and client’s location. Mine is a US based client and they have some offices in Toronto, hence I got a B1 visa quickly. Another plus point is that my colleagues come from various cultural backgrounds, and we work happily in collaboration. I also like the employee re-hire policy here.

Dislikes

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. The work pressure is very high. Sometimes, I have to work 14-18 hours straight in a day as I have to attend client calls in the evening and sometimes late into the night. Managers do not value an individuals’ unique strengths, which is why I have to take back my suggestions most of the times. I do receive appreciation emails from my client, but they mostly go unnoticed during my mid-year appraisals. Also, there is no on-job training for freshers, hence senior folks like me have to guide them

Dislikes

During the end of my tenure, office politics took upper hand. People started promoting their favourites openly. Diversity (female) candidates were even more preferred over better counterparts. Tamil localites unfortunately started preferring localites over Cosmo crowd, whereas initially it was a pure Indian mix crowd. Chennai as location again is not preferrable. Language barrier and weather being main hurdles
