Dislikes

CAT in Aurangabad is built on an intimidating and daunting culture. No respect to employees and causes disconcerting. Leadership (so called) rely on threatening and slavery approach without any sort of human values Aurangabad is a city with limitations in good education and hospitals. I'd suggest someone who wanted to join this organization to think thrice before making decision
