1. Free cabs but that too you have to reach the nodal point. But your nodal point will be atleast 1.5 KMS in radius around you house. Nothing apart from this.

Dislikes

... working under them. 3. The leads are dominating agents reporting under them. 4. Shift allowance will not credit properly along with your salary. 5. If any leads friend or family members are in bench they will hire them to their project and do nothing beneficial for the project and after very few months, leads will send those relatives to better projects. 6. Too much of favouritism and partiality. 7. People around the leads are get glorified every moment. 8. Most of the people either old or new employee, none knows the major company policies atleast. 9. Even if you reach out to HR team, they will redirect again to your project manager who do not know the complete policies and this circle keeps circling without any resolution. 10. One of the poi are at work culture every seen or heard in life.

Salary and benefits are good.

Dislikes

If you've switched your job from a big and organized company like TCS or Accenture the first thing you'll notice is no proper training is available, hr or admin connect is zero, learning and development opportunities are terrible, you'll notice micromanagement like a call center, employee feedbacks are not accepted, no location preferences, managers act like your juniors and puppets of senior management, no appreciation.

Dislikes

Yearly hike and promotion should be more logical and ethical. More eligible person needs to get promoted and get hike in there compensation. If company can a bit more employee centric then its gonna be a fabulous organisation to work with.
