Compensation is good given the location I work from i.e. Kolkata

Work allocation and work pressure is uncertain, poor work life balance, 10-12 hours is average working hours/day for most of the employees. Annual increment is very low given the amount of effort everyone puts in and there is hardly any scope for new technical skill development.
