Salary hike is very bad. Like in 5 6 years also there will be no significant changes in your salary slip. No bonus or gift cards. No recognition of good work. Internal politics will hamper productivity. And the worst thing now is WFO without fail or else salary will be deducted.

...date are asked to come forward and take charge, desired onces are kicked away. Senior management enjoys a lot over the money that project earned in profit, they will get holiday package of 3-7 days even for their families, but when it comes to the promotion or appraisal of a hardworking employee (junior) they are under huge losses, they don't have money. It's all like uchi dukan, feekay pakvaan.
