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.

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
