Only salary on time

Dislikes

1) insult from manager on daily basis based on his mood 2) no proper training. Only observe at the time training and you need to start processing by your own. No SOP maintained. 3) promotion only to full time MBA and CA and if you are not full time MBA and CA then wait for your promotion till 4 to 5 years of completion in the firm Currently one full time MBA was promoted every year from associate to senior associate and from senior associate to associate manager. 4) promotion is happening only on favouritism and not on performance. My discussion was happened with associate director for my promotion but at the time of promotion he gave promotion to other guy may be I was not full time MBA and CA. 5) if your manager, associate director and director knows each other from last 4 to 5 years in SS&C then your life will be hell at workplace. Change your job ASAP.

There is lot to learn, every body is so supportive you don’t have to maintain hierarchy each time you can directly go to even directors for your queries and help subject to the availability of time.

Dislikes

Pathetic packages even if they promote someone he or she won’t het good package. Salary is not justified as compared to work that you do. Their packages are not even close to the market standards.
