Likes

Work culture and flexibility. Not too much stress.

Dislikes

...(MS) holder from University of Texas at Arlington, USA are paid the same salary. Very huge pay disparity. No equal pay for equal work. Very racist and biased. Managers make false promises of promotions and very gradual pay hike. No meritrocracy. All degrees are the same. Doesnt matter if you worked until 3AM on projects to earn your STEM degree. BE and US STEM degrees are dirt cheap in India. US Management plays favorites.

1. Working on latest technologies in few projects. 2. On time promotions if you are doing your job and working on client projects. 3. Good Annual hike compared to other service based companies.

Dislikes

1. Entire work on few people in project, others will relax and take same salary or in many cases more than you. 2. Less clients and more internal projects which makes promotion delay, unless there is huge dependency you won't get promotion. 3. Promotion depend on no of employees under manager and his budget not on performance. 4. They will release from project just before appraisal so you won't get neither appraisal nor promotion.

Dislikes

No hike, no promotion, no work life balance, billing only 9 hours even though work assigned more than that, no personal life preference or consideration. Employees are treated like robots. No value given for feedback. No team bonding or management improvement survey to be taken. IBM IKEA will do nothing for ppl to get motivated for work. It's a trauma project where ppl should update their task and complete even if they are in dead bed. Internal politics is worst and seen people falling in sick because of poor management. No resource will be recruited to balance work load instead resources will be reduced and a person will be assigned with two to more projects to work without rest and benefits.
