Organisation is quite big with hands in multiple sectors, and have good vision for business. Sadly can't say the same for the work culture.

Dislikes

They prefer hiring devs from outside instead of promoting their own long term employees, and that too at higher package, except for select few who get promotion every year. Upper management is been in the same company for 10s of years while attrition rate for new employee is close to 70% yearly

A Team Lead

BIG MOVE! 🛑

Elon Musk's StarLink partners with Bharti Airtel to challenge Jio in India! The deal includes StarLink equipment in Airtel stores, business services, and rural connectivity for schools & health centers. If priced right, this could be telecom's next big disruption after Jio’s 2016 revolution. Honestly, Jio’s service has been declining, and another telecom war might be exactly what we need. If Starlink-Airtel keeps it affordable, I’d consider switching! What about you?🤔
