... i managed 3 plus years, it's difficult to survive with corporate politics here. You will be forced to work more than 8hrs, almost 12 hrs daily with weekend working (no pay). Compensation overall is very less when compared to industry standards. No perks. Work life balance is poor and people at management don't hear our side at all. Even if we are sick, we will be asked to work. Shifts will be rotating without requirements. No project and company party. The money of this is completely into management pockets. Incentives is too low.

Dislikes

Inadequate compensation, no perks, no rewards, no career growth, work pressure, long work hours, management politics, no or less team outings.

...llable resource. Even if you move from operations to support team, this happens. My 1 lac 56 thousand salary got decreased on annual basis and they said you will not be getting it as you are now non billable. Even they change salary components also which I was getting for first 3.5 years here. The appraisals are also very minimal if you are in support team. Considering all these, I have decided not to continue here and move for better compensation at least what I deserve.
