ConsCompensation is not as per the market standards for freshers and yearly appraisals are also not good for freshers which makes financial growth difficult.

Advice to Senior ManagementInternal Training which is conducted every month should focus on newer technologies.Current training focuses on old technologies and the calender keeps on repeating.
