No Growth for Freshers – Proceed with Caution
Pros
- Decent work-life balance - Some colleagues are supportive and knowledgeable
Cons
- Very limited salary growth, even after multiple years of service - After 3 years, salary may still remain below ₹4 LPA for many freshers - Appraisals are frequently delayed and often lack transparency - No clear communication from upper management; decisions often benefit only a select few team leads - Project opportunities are limited, especially in terms of new technologies or career-enhancing work - Promises made by team leads during projects often don't materialize during appraisals - Bond terms are strict — breaking it may involve paying ₹1 lakh + 6 months’ salary - No structured career path; many developers find themselves stuck in outdated technologies after 2+ years. Many friends from college may advance faster in terms of salary and career elsewhere
