1. Salary & appraisal: They will not increase the salary for more than 2.8-3 years. Fake promises to increase salaries and hike. No extra money for OT also. And also they are deducting variable pays every months without any reason (there is court case against HCL for that, you can read article on internet also). 2. Work life balance: In one word disgusting. We are working from morning 9 to late nights 9:30 average daily even one Saturday and Sundays. 3. Company culture: Fake promises and fake hike news they spread, and even after 2.8 years they are not releasing hike letters. 4. Work satisfaction: No matter how hard you work they will not happy and they will give more work to you. Senior managements are going home after 3:30 / 4:00pm but normal employees have to work till nights. 5. Overall: DONT JOIN THIS COMPANY.

I was lucky enough to be in a development project although learning is limited as it was too easy. So i had lot of free time so i spent it on learning ML, data science and moved into that domain. If you're a fresher try to join a development project and avoid a support project as work might be high and you won't learn many useful skills(I'm not 100% sure but that's what I think). I was also lucky that i got a friendly team.

Dislikes

...g this pandemic situation. Nature of Work and health regd facilities are good. Salary, hike, bonus and other compensation related policies are too poor and for employee benifits will be very less.

We can learn some other skills via some platform like Percipio. This is an advantage.

Dislikes

Salary hike is extremely worst. I'm very disappointed about that. And, they are very conscious about getting work from employee they treat like a machine.

I always have work to do and learn.

...to fraud you in whatever way possible. They drag everything as long as they can. All bonus, rewards strech easily to 1 year delay and if you resigned in between you are not eligible even if it's their fault in delay. No ethics. No rules.
