Dislikes

Manager, work life balance, overtime money is very less, hike less, politics.

Likes

Not much, the office campus is good, but gets too crowded. People are talented, smart and willing to share knowledge.

Dislikes

The office cublicle spacing allows no privacy or personal space. Employees are expected to toll 12+ hours everyday, sometimes even on weekends for no extra pay. Work-life balance is non-existent. The office politics is just mind-numbing, where no importance is given to talent, merit, skills or work-ethics. What matters for appraisals and promotion is just how much of a bootlicker. Company culture makes GS a toxic place. Beware of the false marketing.

Dislikes

Almost everything. Destroyed both my mental AND physical health. Didn't even get the GS typical high salary because so much depends on politics and buttering up to seniors that I came under the bottom wrungs although I worked well. Was way too stressed daily feeling like just another eaisoy replaceable cog in the machine. Not at all people-feiendly, nobody cares for you, managers don't root for you. Some managers in fact actively suppress you and tell you not to highlight ypur academic achievements because others in the team including the manager are from substandard universities and it was giving them an inferiority complex, making them actively isolate you. Some roles even require unpaid work on weekends quite regularly.
