Likes

The team that i worked with was awesome. There are 2 teams that one can jump into other than being in Frontline. But even though you grow within sts, there is not much that can be expected for salary hike. It is always in single digit even though you are the top performer

Dislikes

...ere do a lot of profits. So if you are their favorite you get to be as you want. And the salary package that they offer you to the max is 2.5lpa as a fresher and one you are in the company and reach about 4lpa, they won't increase it further

Great work-life balance. The ability to work from home depends on the team and is permitted if there is a genuine need. There are plenty of free resources available for skill development.

Dislikes

Due to recent layoffs, job security is uncertain. Promotions and salary increases have been impacted and are lower compared to other competitors.
