Skill Development If you got lucky, you will get good project. Company tries to retain their previous culture but have big doubt on the middle management ( M, SM, EDL and above).

  • Skill development - Good

Dislikes

...technical management people are always give your year end appraisal / ratings. Salary growth will be negligible. Never expect any promotion unless you don't have good repo with the senior management.

Being eligible for promotion you have to be oiling your manager to get it. Your skills and efforts won't qualify for getting the promotion and salary hike.

Spent 7 years. Got 3 TOP ratings. Joined as 5 years experienced with 5L/Y salary and left with 12.5L/Y. Work permit filed but din't went due to personal issues. Salary hike is pathetic. Management hardly bother about financial normalization.
