Work Life Balance : The workload is minimal due to lack of learning opportunities. Most employees seem to follow a routine of running automated scripts without much clarity on the value they are adding. Longevity : The company offers a long term job security, particularly for individuals without strong career ambitions. For example , some of the longest serving employees are female, highlighting a potential gender based longevity disparity. Importantly most good reviews are forced one by team managers asking team to rate nicely so please don't decide these based on those.

Dislikes

Salary : Compensation is below market standards. Most hires are sourced from TCS/Infosys or are fresh graduates , with experienced candidates (5-8 years) earning roughly 50% less than market averages. Favouritism : Promotions are heavily influenced by favouritism. Regardless of your technical skills, career growth is stagnant because senior management (G4) rarely vacates positions. External Hires , often with connections are preferred for promotions, leaving internal candidates sidelined after being invited for interviews. Feedback Process : End of year feedback is often irrelevant and non -technical. Issues such as minor behavioural concerns or meeting attendance are emphasized over technical contributions, fostering a toxic environment. Nature of work : Most meaningful projects are managed by UK based teams, leaving the india hub with low quality , redundant tasks. This limits opportunities for both technical and vertical growth. Management Style : Many team managers operate in an autocratic or unstructured manner, focusing on personal preferences rather than technical or strategic decisions. This creates a toxic and demotivating workplace culture.

No long term growth or learning. Company is struggling to have a clear vision for itself. Frequent changes, almost in a span of 1-2 years, in leadership causing unpredicted growth path and even jobs. Randomly hires and then cuts down roles. Favoritism is the key to survival.
