Very less salary than market( TCS, infosys type salary) Toxic culture No promotions at junior levels Very less hikes(3-5%) Very bad salary break up aswell, 60% of hike will be added in gratuity so effective hike after year will be somewhere around 1% Best place to join if you are a housewife (don't want to travel) or anyone who doesn't have much ambitions

Good learning possibility since you interact directly with the senior leadership. However, whether it's a positive or a negative, mostly depends on your manager or super manager, and mostly, it's the latter here :)

Dislikes

Poor appraisals and compensation. Poor treatment of employees. Work is not valued. 90% of the work goes waste as nobody sees it or even recognises the efforts. Terrible leadership.
