...eryone during their weekends and holidays, people steal each other's credit, bonuses and increments are received in July, made to work long hours and login in off days, but your productivity is counted for only half the things you do. Unrealistic targets are set. Work load is enough to keep you working 7 days. No Diwali/New year bonus. You work with toxic people and when you take a legitimate concern to supervisor(s), they don't take action unless it starts impacting them. You are not given work according to your skill set and the feedback you receive is never enough to guide you ahead.
