Dislikes

Hikes are very minimal and non existent sometimes. Average salary is below the industry standard in product based companies. Lot of higher level management politics and frequent reorgs with directional changes. Not a company for people expecting high quality work and competitive pay.

Dislikes

...'t let you start something new even though they promote trying new technologies. There's no fair compensation. No hikes or promotions. You're expected to slog day and night to be considered a valuable employee. Otherwise, you're sidelined and accused of not being part of the team.
