Everyone is polite and respectful

Dislikes

- 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.

The managers treat technicians very badly. If there is a failure, technicians get the blame. The technicians are: not given time for skill development/to learn something loaded with work affected by the bias between engineers and technicians taken for granted by the managers
