Salary is good.

  • Salary - Good

Dislikes

You have to give interview to get into a projects. If you can not crack it you will be on bench and then after some months you have to forcefully get resigned by the HR. If you cannot perform well inside a project, some of the supervisor has the mentality to escalate you from the project without any warning or any discussion about your performance or withoany suggestions like where u need to focus or work on. Also will give some false allegations for escalation. If you get escalated from the project within ur probation period u will get escalate from the company. Need to change there policy who are having 1st time MNC experience.

... is full of self righteous low iq people. Absolute zero hikes and no promotions. Abysmal salary and on top of that management wants everybody to work from office for 9 hours and then work from home for another 3 hours. The India CEO statement of 9.5 hours is absolutely false.
