Nothing to like. Terrible company.

Dislikes

Apparently employees are not getting hikes and promotions because the CEO needs 170cr salary. The managers and HRs will never listen to you. My manager has not even once tried to contact me. Projects are so bad. Only support work.

Good company for a mediocre to break with. Will train you in a good technology while giving the fixed salary amount for the Programmer Analyst Trainee.

Dislikes

Training period is too long, you will not get any project in 8-9 months, in some cases more than a year, but is a good company to start your career if you are a very basic developer.

Not enough salary, Even though you're good enough if you don't allocated into project, in the bench they'll treat you like a prisoner, no benefits whatsoever even when you're in bench or in project
