Dislikes

The salary hikes are inadequate and the experienced salaries are not aligned with market standards. There is a lack of recognition and appreciation for the work done. Cost-cutting measures are excessive, even for basic needs. Opportunities to learn new technologies or rotation between projects are minimal. Complaints are not taken seriously if it involves key resources, they are are even allowed to disregard corporate ethics. While the initial package may seem attractive, the subsequent hikes are so low that even the employees with 5-10 years of experience feel stuck.
