... maintain work life balance. For family people, one should ready for sacrifices. I had good recognition for work(not in terms of career growth/compensation..!. It falls under organisation decisions not account decision. will talk about it bot later). Company is investing great amount in future. I.e, research and digitalizing(it seems...!). Not sure when can it reap the fruits of it.

Dislikes

Account wise expectations are sky high but compensation is sea depth low. Promotions are not as promised which is making org. culture in doubt. especially in 20016 - 2018(till date), It is going down in terms of associate satisfaction and unable to stand on to the promises on promotion and very poor hikes. Also higher level people need to start packing their things as soon they may see hit which doubts their livelihood.
