No hike, no job security, no skill development, no easy transportation.even if you learn new technologies they will ask for experience and make you work in technology which you already know.if you do "jing jack" you will get everything else you will be cornered and make you to think resigning is best than staying there

It's a service based company like other WITCHA companies. Every thing will depend on the type of project you get and your manager. 10 hour shift which was introduced during covid because everyone was working from home is still going on Might get stagnated after few years.

Extremely low salary Even when eligible, requests for pay increases go unanswered. Equal-level roles are paid differently, which is blatantly rude. People with the same amount of experience in various technology stacks differ by 1.5–1.6 times on average.
