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.

No hike, no job security, no skill development, no easy transportation.even if you learn new technologies they will ask for experience and make you work in technology which you already know.if you do "jing jack" you will get everything else you will be cornered and make you to think resigning is best than staying there

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.

...won't feel the pain but they will somehow kick you out if they don't need you... they might give you salary for 2 or 3 months to keep the mouth shut but they will lay off you silently
