The perception of company depends on the project you are in . This company is great when you learn in a project and work environment is good . But when you get yourself landed in a project in which work culture is toxic and people are not very professional, then that is a trouble . I have worked in both kinds of project . In one I was learning something new everyday , and people were quite professional. But in another project, Which was support work culture was very toxic and there was nothing to learn . Each and everyday spent in that project seemed like waste of time to me .

very less pay scale and growth. even appraisals are given in penneies. if it is your first job, then you will be stuck at the same salary bracket for a very long time and andit's very difficult to get digital or innovator profiles being in a project which require too much effort from your side,and occasionally they keep changing the rooms and conditions also.
