- Salary is very low. - The work is horrible. 80% of it was just running some existing tools with absolutely no coding involved. - No skill building or learning whatsoever. No exposure to relevant technologies and concepts. - Promotions and appraisals are arbitrary and opaque. - Managers are deliberately deceptive and dishonest. Best to avoid the 1 on 1 meetings with them. Just an endless stream of lies. - Benefits and amenities are really bad. - Office location is terrible.
