My job, the work that I do. That's the only thing interesting, the higher management on the other hand? terrible.

Dislikes

...eams group is just so childish and feels like we are in school. Not cool at all. The amount of effort we put in, the salary is nothing compared to it. Let's not even talk about rewards or bonuses. And i believe this is happening in just my team which is huge, it's a whole other department. And I work from home ,so this will not help you if you are someone with an office going role, i have no idea what's going on there. Best of luck.

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Dislikes

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.
