Dislikes

For Freshers: Low Pay, No relocation assistance, No perks and benefits, No Transparency in project allocation, no option to choose technology of choice for training. Generally Speaking: The standard working hours are 9 hours (excluding the lunch break), which already is more than the industry but even then you are expected to work 14+ hours a day in name of "flexibility". I worked 9:00 AM to 10:30PM for 3 continuous weeks. The Europe/UK offices dont work a second over 8 hours but Indians are expected to work more with less compensation. Supposed to be working in Indian time and be available in US time too.

Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Dislikes

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.
