...he organisation enjoying the perks. Most junior people are protected the most. Another positive is everyone gets the same percentage of salary hike as per the Rating.

Dislikes

Promotions are restricted to Kolkata or Chennai people mainly, other city people have less preference as the seniors sit there. Same while giving important projects. I was told by another existing person when I joined but after 3 yrs, realising the same unfortunately. Politics is v v high. They just want to meet the numbers, even if you manipulate or twist things, it's ok as there are no reviews. They just want to tick the boxes for the heck of it. Also, very old people..like dead wood not having visibility and understanding of what to do and get done. No industry scenario as they are frogs in a well. No one from non-Kolkata join here as it would be no learnings and no progression, no work scenarios here.

Compensation is decent, but growth is slow. the Work pressure is high, Sometimes, I have to work 12-13 hours straight in a day. On-Job training needs an improvement.
