Learning and reskilling opportunities, Trainings etc. Compensation and hikes are fine as long as you have no aspirations for career growth, onsite opportunities and better pay cheques. New Promotion process is much better.

Dislikes

... Soon your experience will catch up with your salary. Still considering the work done, its good enough for just fixing bugs. 10 hrs mandatory with strict tracking. Its enough to take away your whole day.
