6. Yearly Bonus apart from variable component to the tune of 70k upto 1.5L if you are on good terms with manager
Cons: 1. Cost cutting
2. Transport sucks
3. 'Bond's for anything and everything
4. 3 month notice while quitting
5. Long service agreements for even a short onsite trip, eg, serve 6 months for 1 month trip, serve 1 year for 3+ month trip.
6. GDF/Lean process is driving people crazy
7. Flexible options like work from home are slowly becoming scarce
8. Unless you are a very critical resource, they will never hike your salary
