No salary increment happened over a year and no official notice had been provided. Not much opportunity given to those who want to learn and grow. People seeking opportunity in a particular technology is not actively given a chance.

Salary and benefits are good.

  • Salary - 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.
