Stability is good. Though in the ongoing global recession, many of my co-workers had to leave projects because of project ramp down and did not get any other projects. Instead of recruiting employees from bench in other projects they are hiring more from people outside.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

Appraisal is bad. So joining with low salary does not help much in the long run, better to switch.
