...ncy in feedback system. Resource managers are behave like Govt higher officials. Pay and hike are very worst. Internal tools works like a govt portals, it always throw erros. If you raise a ticker for an issue, it will take couple of months to resolve that too after creating multiple tickets for the same issue. I was creating ticket after ticket for my PF issue for one year. After one year also, it did not resolved. I fed up and left the issue as it is. The IT department is another worst dept. They will provide HCL VDI when you are using client VDI for your work. The HCL VDI is never worked properly.
