When I joined the quality of projects were good. Recently a lot of low quality projects are coming into the organization, and if you get any such project you have to stay in that project for a minimum of 1 year before you can request for a project change.

* Internal politics impacts growth and salary * Asking for WFH is a pain.

It's like 50 fruits for 500 people * No growth even if you learn what they ask you to. * Minimal or no Hike/Promotion * Reduced chances of on-site opportunities * Indians will be considered as a population always
