...llable resource. Even if you move from operations to support team, this happens. My 1 lac 56 thousand salary got decreased on annual basis and they said you will not be getting it as you are now non billable. Even they change salary components also which I was getting for first 3.5 years here. The appraisals are also very minimal if you are in support team. Considering all these, I have decided not to continue here and move for better compensation at least what I deserve.

Definitely the perks they provide, the salary structure for LS associates is uneven and much lower than market standards. There was a issue with timing of appraisal, which was fixed, even for that a poor appraisal was provided.
