Dislikes

The quality of work assign to the team was pathetic, we complained, but got no support from the Management at all. They don't care about anything unless you are billable, one you put your papers suddenly they will jump in and will say that we'll put your name forward for on-site, will give you this much hike, don't leave. Not a good experience at all.
