I appreciate my time at the company and the collaborative environment we have. However, I would like to express that the lack of promotions and salary increases has been a concern for me. It can be discouraging when hard work doesn't seem to be recognized through career advancement or financial rewards. I believe that addressing these aspects could greatly enhance employee satisfaction and motivation.

Nothing to like. Terrible company.

  • Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

Apparently employees are not getting hikes and promotions because the CEO needs 170cr salary. The managers and HRs will never listen to you. My manager has not even once tried to contact me. Projects are so bad. Only support work.

Training period is too long, you will not get any project in 8-9 months, in some cases more than a year, but is a good company to start your career if you are a very basic developer.
