1. Work-life balance is non-existent as other comments mention. If you want to get away from everything else like your family, friends, and past time, then this is the place for you.
2. The condescending culture is practised a lot within the higher management making the executives, juniors, and seniors look low and replaceable.
3. When awards are won, when victories are achieved, mentions about it are kept to a minimum and sometimes not even acknowledged. But failures are highly advertised and remembered with name-calling, demotivating remarks, rude language and unnecessarily loud exclamations of shame.
4. They say you can go back when work is done, but it never gets done not becauce of the incompetency of workers, but the workload that comes. Refer to some of the comments where they say the company cares more about the clients than their own people because it is the mantra of the company. Clients come first at the expense of the sanity of the team. All teams are over-worked and have never expressed a happy remark about coming in to work.
5. There are compensations and rewards hidden behind a wall for serving more years. Not many people have even thought about wanting to get those rewards because the "rewards" are not even worth it for the mental and physical health you have to sacrifice. It's done solely to keep people in due to the increasing turnover rate and not to appreciate them.
6. Anger and frustration is a common feeling passed on from the top and flows to the bottom who have to soak it all in. It hardens you as a person but hurts you internally.
