Promotions were not giving on skills but on other irrelevant things. Even if you manager and you are supposed to be on another band they will make you beg for the band update and didn't gave you the chance to stand for you. HR's were a joke, just money minded. They were of not much help just a good listener. No work life balance they were expect you to do 9:30 hrs from home and want you to again join from office for 2 hrs of work for as long as they want. Salary not increased for people like 2-3 years just a lollipop only. No job security on the name of shrinkage they will put you on bench then play prime nv game and through you at any location without any confirmation. With no refund of travelling and residential cost. They say will do but it's just a joke. Forget about the work satisfaction you are not more than a slave...Read More

Team mates are pretty much friendly here as all have one problem in common(No salary hike and no explanation for that). People echo with each other’s problem, so, relation with coworkers are not that bad. All come under the same umbrella.

Dislikes

No salary hike despite of good rating in appraisal. For an example, scoring a 4 out of 10 & scoring a 9.5 out of 10 doesn’t make any difference when the management says that your performance is excellent like exceed expectation but we are not sure why there is no increment. Manager says talk to the HR, HR says talk to the customer lead and with the higher management and then all empathises with you but no result. The last person left to discuss regarding this was the CEO. That’s a crime. You can even think of attempting that. Weekend work, specially work on National holidays like 15th August. When you question this they say India got freedom in 1947, what will you do now? Go and work. On your birthday they will say that you are old enough not to celebrate your birthday. Go and work. That’s all and many more. Now you decide....Read More
