Likes

Salary is decent compared to industry average. Also, You don’t need to worry about the job security unless you are really bad. Work life balance depends on which line of business and what team are you working.

Dislikes

Promotions are too slow compared to your peers in US or UK. A person will stay as an Analyst or Associate for years and your peer will become a Vice President or even an Executive Director within the same timelines. Your promotions are hardly based on your performance and mostly based on how much good relationship you have with your manager and how much the management has endorsed you as a brand.

Company is good. It has good policies for their employees. Providing decent salary, good bonus and other great perquisites. Employees transportation and insurance cost is borne by the company and not charged from employees. Every employee is covered not just under medical insurance but under term life insurance also.

Dislikes

1. No leave encashment policy. Balance leaves will be encashed only if you are leaving the company. 2. With respect to work life balance this company is not too good. 3. This company is not an HR oriented company. Meaning it is little bit difficult to approach HR. I am not much aware of whether HR is taking any sessions or interacting with operations employees to know the working situation.
