...free with weekly extra for snacks. Best working environment separate cubicles. Pay is best in class.

Dislikes

Way too much expectation from an average employee to keep learning in terms of ever changing technologies. Too much new things to learn and not many opportunities to implement the learnings.

Work life balance is very bad. Very high toxic environment created with high micro managent. Not good gor fresher's as the people here don't help each other in work as the feel like the other person is competitor to each other

Office politics is there in some teams, promos will be dragged until you breakdown completely, work done by does not matter what matters the most is the managers perception about you, if you are introvert and unable to project the work you have done you are doomed , others will take the credit of your work and promo 😉

...and QC doesn't easily let go of any employee. So, some people are enjoying Govt. job like job satisfaction with much better pay. HR needs to do a much better job in bringing the right talent to the hiring managers and also, in organising employee engagement activities.
