As being a part of support team, the management is the worst which runs only on pure politics, no career growth or appreciation nor movement to any other technical teams or training on technical skills. Overall I can say it's one of the worst companies to work with and you can never grow your career than false hopes.

Job security - Good

Each a and every single thing, just the package is tempting but the work is worst.

Nothing.. there is no job security, no training and you have to learn everything on your own.. dont expect others to help you.. it is very difficult for a newbie to survive. Even after you are putting your own efforts to learn things, if you are stuck on some applications, you are a goner, no help from seniors or others.

Dislikes

No training, job security, career growth, I cant talk about as I was removed in 2 months without any explanation or reason. They are not transparent and very cunning guys are running the show. Don't waste your time in this company as you are valued here. They expect you to work straight away without understanding environment, customer, etc... they just want to work and give results.. which is crazy.. when first you should be made aware of the environment.. lots of projects were being redone as they were not taking the initial requirements at the start..

a system engineer

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation. My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.
