Dislikes

I would say dislike is compensation. I have been working here for 11 years but still I do not reach 8LPA. As per manager or HR confirmation I should be relieved and re-join in this company, so that I can get above 10 LPA.

Ratings and compensation should be rewarded for hardworking. Here the person will get only if the person fights or drop papers. But the organization is taking so much of efforts to control this.So I think the only negative part is also improving at higher rate
