You'll go school everyday and work for 10hr but your salary will credited for 9hr, high level of micromanagement, you are notified supposed to take leave irrespective of any scenario (Parental leave or even your own family died) they'll convince you to take leave for 2-5days only. Everyday there will be special warning session with management for 1 hrs with whole floor (e.g, if you are not meeting up the target you'll be sacked, etc etc)

...llable resource. Even if you move from operations to support team, this happens. My 1 lac 56 thousand salary got decreased on annual basis and they said you will not be getting it as you are now non billable. Even they change salary components also which I was getting for first 3.5 years here. The appraisals are also very minimal if you are in support team. Considering all these, I have decided not to continue here and move for better compensation at least what I deserve.
