No job security, once your project rampoff HR will give you 2 options 1. Mutual release - you will get 4 months on salary & 1 month extended salary & your remaining leave paid off as per basic pay. 2. Continue with NTT they will keep you for 3 months & try to push in some support or service desk profile or ask you to leave. Everything depends on client , I think every has same thing so no need to worries.

Cuts down on salary, lay offs just because they cannot afford good employees. The management is incompetent. There is no job satisfaction will make you work 12 hours a day. And after you leave the company they will not share your payslips, ctc breakdown and other required documents with you.
