Project internal protocols. Work life balance can't be maintained. You need to bow before your manager to get your things done. Recognition won't be there. Promotions will get delayed. HRs are only dummy toys which will answer to the managers.

Management will not care about your problems. Salary is low compared to competitors. They'll change your project at September and for year end rating they'll simply say we haven't got chance to fully understand your capabilities as you've recently joined in the project. Every year this loop continues. No matter how hard you work or how many appreciations you get from client. "The more number of days you're in the same LOB, the more rating you'll get." (This is the excuse I've got when I questioned about the rating, despite having multiple client appreciations). This demotivates for sure!
