WLB, Salary on time, promotions in case you are licker

  • Salary - Good

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.
