Dislikes

Developers get least flexibility towards work. Team Leaders, Managers have the trust of senior management but developers don't get that trust. Emergencies are created and told to developers as every day there is an emergency. No work from home and even if you get then you will be told by your reporting manager that he/she should be grateful for this honor of work from home. C-DOT now going from R & D to service sector with very less number to people to actually deal with field.
