1. No anniversary appraisal pay raise. Annual Appraisal cycle is April to April and criteria for annual appraisal is 1 year. So, if you join in May 2025, your first appraisal with pay hike will be in April 2027, as you won't be completing 1 year in April 2026!!! 2. No approvals for external certifications 3. Compulsory wfo even if client approves wfh. 4. If you are joining with grade C3A and above, you will only receive 20-30% of monthly and quarterly performance pay.

Except job security there is nothing which can help you to grow your career neither skill nor salary or opportunities. If you want to develop your skills or willing to get benifits you need to be always good with manager even he is not a nice with you. Here people's get good hike and appraisals when they have good contact with manager, if not forget benifits from company even you working hard.

...agile egos HRs are useless af and RMG are the worst people in this organisation. And they will pay you peanuts. They mostly have support and maintenance projects. They will force fully map you in a project without even telling and discussing with you about the project like (tech stack, shift timings, location , client etc) for them you are just a resource your interest and skills doesn't matters to them. Since the new CEO has joined this organisation he ended wfh, hybrid so now everyone has to go 5 days a week. There is no flexible timings and even if you leave 5-10 minutes early from your daily billable hours then they will check your check in, check out timings and deduct your leaves and apply half day because you left 5 minutes early and didn't complete your 9 hours. They will expect you to do four days work in a single day and will never compensate you for your extra effort. they will give single digit hike to everyone. If you ask for leave they will make a face like you asked them to give their kidneys. They don't give you release from your project or transfer to the city you want.
