On time salary paying.. Part from that nothing I seen in good. Even Manager won't feel secure and always trying to show smart to management. Management think, 15 people work can be done by four people and manage 24/7 with oncall. No place to put our views. If you are saying which you don't like better to find new job again. If you go on bench, it going to be very terrible experience, u think we you born. Please rethink before joining.

Dislikes

No job security. Feel like you are a donkey and put all the load. Five person work expecting to complete by one person. No HR.. only manager decisions. If in case you are not good with manager then it gone case.
