Dislikes

Job security - Cloud OTA is worst project, nobody knows anything but expectations would be like you have to do everything. The one who knows won’t tell you anything. Learning- migration work from old legacy to so called Cloud. You won’t do anything new just some line of codes, no cloud exposure. No new tech. Politics - “Ek_bihar_sab_pe_bhari” So if you want to survive keep good terms with this guy.

Nothing such as of now.

Dislikes

- they will not offer you expected salary until or unless you have counter offer. - After joining of 2 months They will put you in PIP and fire you with in few days with no severence pay because you are in probation period. - HR is worst here, they will not support you anywhere. Your manager is God in this company. - your shift will be rotation with rotational week off . They will not provide you leave until or unless you need to show them proof for everything. - At the end you will feel like robot who is ready to work on public holidays as well.
