In time Salary, For me Work life Balance but most of them don’t have the Work life Balance

Dislikes

They will allocate the project based on your background.. They will give whatever they need. During the promotions they will highlight as you did not work on role you have recruited

Dislikes

...never ends. Even if we do Certification there's no guarantee that we get a hike. Variable pay is not a guarantee too. Hike cycle is Jan -dec but hike n variable pay will be provided only at the end of financial year end. For the folks eligible for Variable pay that is from C1 onwards there will be a partial payout in the jan n final pay out at the end of financial year end. The eligibility for variable pay is we are not supposed to be serving notice period. Meaning even if we drop paper on March 31st then we are subjected to return our variable pay. If we have taken parental insurance then they ask to pay for the entire financial year as part of full & final settlement from the employee Only for 30 leaves will be paid as full & final settlement Managers are really bad they just care about your deliverables & nothing else. My project manager/program manager when asked about hike - shared me a customer care number to check what's the reason for not releasing my Hike ltter. When reached on that number they asked to connect with my manager for the reasonn😆 No good onshore opportunities No good flexibility in location inspite of their presence in multiple locations They just have values, policies jst for the sake of having it. In reality nothing is useful. Work culture in certain projects is pathetic - no weekends, no public holidays nothing
