Dislikes

1. Work might get monotonous after few years, since it involves dealing with customers on regular basis. 2. Onboarding process is time consuming and involves lot of paperwork. You may find some HR employees not cooperating. 3. Company has only 2 offices in entire India (Noida and Bengaluru) for design related work, making it difficult for candidates in other states to relocate permanently. 4. Remote work provision won't be there any longer. 5. Freshers shall find it difficult to cope up with the HUGE amount of learning in the first 6 months or so.
