If you are joining as a fresher in BPS then the salary growth happens very slowly and you will get frustrated after a certain point of time when it comes to Annual Increment. It's better to join this company after a few years of experience. Also, sometimes the higher management is not approachable/good,they do not listen to your concerns.

I'm not against bulk hiring but as a consequence salary is already lower than market and since hikes are low as well so basically if you stay for couple years then you'll notice your friends with a package far greater than yourself. 4. Most work is support on old tech 5. No flexibility for WFH even if your team isn't there.
