...ttering is the main condition you need to get a good exposure in the project. 2. The salary structure is very poor. The basic pay is minimum compared to other companies. They do so just to save on the company pf contributions. 3. The yearly hike is also a joke. They increase 5-6% but redistributes the salary components in such a way that you can get less in hand salary after the hike. All the increased amount goes in allowances and variable components and they can control how much to give.
