The salaries offered to lower-level employees (interns and associates) are significantly below industry standards, which impacts motivation.
Internal projects often place a disproportionate workload on interns and junior team members, while more experienced staff are allocated to external consultancy engagements.
There’s a noticeable trend of employees frequently leaving the company, often driven by dissatisfaction with management practices.
Salary progression is very poor for existing employees. Increments and promotions are minimal, especially when compared to the compensation offered to new external hires. For example, an intern promoted to Software Engineer may receive around LKR 150,000, while an externally hired Software Engineer is paid around LKR 300,000 for the same role.
