The only I like is the salary gets credited on time.

Dislikes

I never got to work in the role that I got hired for. The work pressure is immense but this would actually depend on the project and the client you get, which is something you cannot choose but get forced into. They had also said that one gets considered for appraisal in Mar if one joins before Sep of the previous year, however that is not really the case. The appraisal cycle is actually Jan to Dec and I got to know this only during Feb from a casual conversation with a collegue. When raised to seniors officially, they only shrugged it off saying there is nothing we can do but wait till the Dec in my case. I felt cheated. Came December, and I am suddenly finding myself into difficult discussions that are moving in the direction of not getting a good increment for sure.

The best of data innovation happens here. With a lot of flexibility for new ideas. The pay is very good at senior management level. Certification is sponsored and freedom is there for ideation.

Dislikes

Junior entry level employees are treated like working for free. very less work life balance. US timezones are compulsory to follow, but not mentioned in the JD/Offer letter. Leaders work remotely and doesn't promote culture. Finance and HR team are very slow in process.

...riented, will always keep employees benefit in mind before taking any decision. Salary were always on time. Regular connect with Manager and HR. Work-Life balance. Since my tenure, I haven't heard about any layoff yet, so job security.

Dislikes

Company transitioned to be service-based to survive the kill-throat competition and sustain employees. Recommendable approach and very empathic. But in motion company should not become 100% service based, should come with new ideas and develop more products.
