It has been a year, and I have not received any salary increase, . I've noticed that many employees in my company, some of whom have been here for over six years, remain in the same roles. I'm based in Assam, where job opportunities are limited, and the 5% annual salary increment barely keeps up with inflation in India. It seems that the company prioritizes cost-saving and productivity over recognizing knowledge and skills. It's quite frustrating, to be honest. 😂

Dislikes

strongly dislike the company. Senior employees keep emphasizing the need for daily training and strict adherence to standard operating procedures, warning us that it might impact our performance evaluations. Management, particularly project managers. I have no intention of ever working for this company again, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

You will receive salary on time. Perks and benefits are there, if only your manager let's you avail them 😕

Salary - Excellent

Dislikes

If your manager don't like you, you can be trapped. Pseudo HR policy. No one will hear you, though they have a campaign running named as "we listen" 😝. They say you will get a chance to get relocated, but when you apply for that they will not support.
