Job security is the most important factor here for people who work. No matter how bad your performance is you will never be laid off.

  • Job security - Excellent

Dislikes

A lot of dislike factors especially Hike, promotion, management, projects, restructuring salary especially for long term old employees. So no need to work long. Better switch to other. Hike is like avg. 4-5 ℅. Everything is in the hands of your RM and management. They will easily forget what good work you did for the project just for a silly mistake you commit. Few projects demands working outside shift hours which is against policy still people do to lure their management.

- Work life balance - Health insurance - Encouragement in writing certifications - Encouragement from colleagues

Dislikes

- Compensation will be increased between 3-5% for Good Performance resources(most of the resources will come into this category) - Even though we do certification on any technology through HCL/outside or take course outside with our money, there will be less chances to get an opportunity to work in the respective technology related projects. I spent Rs.25,000/- to learn big data course from outside and requested managers to put me in big data projects and kept my course details in skill development portal and it did not work out. Same case for AWS and AZURE resources. - HR doesn't want to know employees problems. - If resource wants to leave organization, - Resignation on portal, - Reporting manager nominal discussion(he even doesn't care about an employee as it is affecting his project). Many Reporting Managers will act like they are listening your issues while leaving organization. - Submit your laptop to IT and ID card to admin Where is HR part here?
