...ittle of separation is available in. Hardly, you will find the role defined in. (2) Compensation: Financially, not to prudent to live over here. On the name of the financial anonymity in the world , there will be always paid lesser stating the business are not performing as per ‘expectations’ :p doesn’t matter however they earn. Say for example there has been a growth of 20% and even if the average growth across the other IT industries are 10%

Dislikes

Our Manager's attitude and manipulation is not appreciated. Blame game gets you recognition and not hard work. They exploit you during peak season and professionalism is just a tool for managers. The team at Kolkata needs micromanagers and corporate game players not dedicated employees.
