Except monthly salary, nothing to be present for liking

Dislikes

No growth, no upskill push from your manager, And if you upskill yourself alongwith your work from learning portal, no body will appreciate or use your skill in project. Management is least bothered about your older skills and upskilling and your career growth

Good I like that there are good projects available. If you get that great you will get experience and knowledge.

Dislikes

1. Salary and hikes are low. 2. Poor employee welfare activities, once a year they take you out for team lunch. If you missed then nothing, no gifts, abs nothing, saving so much money but gives back nothing.
