Salary will be credited on last working day of every month and has not skipped even once. Skill development is also one point that looks good, but you won't be utilised based on the trained skill.

Dislikes

Learning opportunities are good but you won't be utilised for the skills; poor salary/appraisal; built with corrupt politics to the core; job security is not guaranteed (anytime you'll be thrown out); poor work-life balance (will be asked to work for 24x7, but allowances for outside normal hours will not be credited most of the time); issues related to payroll or anything involving HR (even if the issue is on the company side), will not be resolved easily and you'll be the victim anyway.
