Likes

1. Flexibility to WFH exists for sometime more.

Dislikes

1. No annual Bonus, combined with a max. 1.5 X pay factor (compared to 1.8 X yrs exp. default of any global EPC in India)- very low salary. 2. Lowest annual increments to the rate of 7% , lower than even inflation for Engineers. Designers may get double digits due to even lower pay. 3. Expect to work 3-4 hrs without overtime without charging on domestic projects daily, due to budget constraints. Weekend work is forced without Overtime. On asking for OT , management just shrugs it off with a "get the work done first". Everytime! 4. Plenty of office politics to navigate or keep away for appraisals, based on your skill or preference.

You can raise your concern. Work life balance can be achieved depending on the projects

Dislikes

No opportunities to grow skills. Very less salary. Company will not care about your salary until and unless you are an irreplaceable resource for the project. And even when they talk about employees growth, that seems to be the least of the concern for the management
