Dislikes

Recently, After CEO change there are No promotion, No hikes and no good projects. They are loosing clients left and right, leading to less salary, heavy firing, cost cuts, less variable bay (even for 5 Rating, you'll get 2K hike) Mostly due to losing projects, there is mainly prod support or infra setup for US based companies. Some managers are heavily toxic, that they take personal vengeance with you.
