Appraisal cycle is like a dream. You will never know whether or not it will happen. Onsite opportunities are considerably lower. Medical benefits are not that great but still not that bad as well.

Dislikes

Very Low Salary is the only reason in my case . WIth SAP certification at expert level and 5 yrs of exp no immediate hope of salary increment and promotion so put down papaer and now serving notice period. HR policy is not aligned to match with market and letting go a critical and solid resource like me.
