...k hours. Appraisal depends on the high level management (not your supervisor). Salary hikes does not come even after 6 months after appraisal. People are more interested to play politics nowadays to divert responsibility and dumping work on others

MNC benefits.

Dislikes

...you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel. Do not depend on your job or salary, have multiple streams of income without moonlighting and switch jobs whenever you get a good opportunity. Work for your own success not for the company.

Pay package is not the best but ifs OK. Even after honestly working with your best efforts & good ratings, you will not get promotion unless you really push for it.
