Dislikes

Salary compensation is very bad, hike is very poor, work life balance is not good, the project will force you to put down the papers as they don't lay off people, all supervisor are not supportive at all they mentally harse the employees and do not support them with the situations. As per. The work load compensation is pathetic. If someone want to switch they can't because of the notice period policy and recruiters upfront says they are rejecting the profile as you are not on notice period.
