Dislikes

Your pay is what you can bargain for at joining, it remains pretty much the same then. Pay raises are insignificant, lower than inflation. Bonuses are negligible. A lot of clueless people. If you are average, you are usually the smarter one in your team.

The hire at a high salary thenk keep you on bench. Then they ask you to resign as you are on bench. Don't resign.

Dislikes

They don't have any project or requirement. They just hire you to fill their bench. You will get project interviews but none of them will hire you even if your interview was good. And if the interview was bad they will send that review to your WFM which they can later use to justify ending your employment.
