considering the salary, its good as they provide good salary but when appraisal comes, its very poor as they give only 5-6% hike. Also when talking about any policy, they have their own policy. Coming to job satisfaction, its very bad as there is no employee satisfaction. Its very difficult for a female employees to continue their job after baby as they don't provide any creche facility. So the overall experience for me was not good.

Nothing, meets zero expectations. Made work like hell even during my maternity journey 24 hrs and with pretty worst monetary benefit. There was no work life balance and also I was forced to resign with no other option saying you cannot continue with your old role or team a month back when I was just about to join after ML.

Dislikes

Poor work-life balance, no salary hike, no benefits, no proper ratings, general shift has no timings it is round the clock.

One of the best employee centric company in service based industry, recent statements from leaders from other organisation is shameful and treating their employee as daily wage labourer but thankful to my company leadership who has great vision and decisions are made towards employee focus. Company is still following hybrid model and no fixed days yet.

Salary - Good
