Dislikes

weekly 9hrs average to be maintained to avoid losing your salary. At office place, upper management people are shouting on the floor that newcomer feels to abscound the company. MC BC bad words will be shouted at you in front of all very loudly , but your job is not to counter or oppose and stay calm and show the manager that he are right even if not your mistake. Random suggestion and rework are very common, junior people work for paycheck. Veriable pay is not given by the company if employee leaves the organization. so dont count that even if you see it in offer letter

People at Leadership take credit of all the hard work done by the team. No hike and promotion for years. 5 days mandatory work from office, 9 hr per days to be maintained. No benefits for employees. Jio only pays and promotes people from premium institute such as IIT, irrespective of their performance. They ignore hard working talanted people from non premium institute.
