Nothing as such.

Sudden HR policies changes. No pay parity over departments, all tech stacks are treated equal maybe it's marketing or engineer or anything. No special benefits for talents. Uncertain promotion of Associate to Senior Associate, high policy changes at last minute. No hybrid module.

Less public holidays. No Diwali / Birthdays gifts. Stagnant growth due to appraisal on the bell curve system. They expect team work and smooth coordination along with bell curve. Poor management.
