Job security is a joke. Decision taken by management just changes in every second. You dont know what the company management is expecting from you. Managers doesn't think about employee career or anything. No mechanism to track performance feedback anything. Based on perspective employees are judged.. Terrible experience doesn't recommend anyone.
