Job security - Good

Dislikes

...sible mainly for unmarried people, Or depends on the project you are working. 2. Politics is high as you move up the ladder and appraisal also becomes biased and compensation was meagre and erratic. Even if your band changes you may get only a three thousand rupees hike overall.

After receiving H1B they never approved my travel and you are forced to stay there for less salary. Don't take joining bonus, get maximum take home salary before joining. In percentage you will receive like 8-10 percent hike but in 3 years you will be less paid and have less knowledge as you work for some client.
