Dislikes

I feel that my supervisor/manager is not cooperative. No regular meetings with Project head, Manager. Discouraging environment for PATs like me. Probation is extended unnecessarily and not able to move to other companies without confirmation. Not sure about others but heard many complaints from fellow batchmates and staffs.
