Lack of Clear Hierarchy for Promotions and Unrealistic Expectations:
The company lacks a clear structure for promotions, which can be frustrating when you work hard and put in long hours. I often found myself working 17-18 hours a day, especially during project deadlines, with no little recognition for the effort. Many projects are signed even when there aren't enough technical resources in-house, which leads to unrealistic expectations. For instance, integration work that typically takes a year was expected to be completed within three months, which was stressful and impractical.
Poor Work-Life Balance and Unfair Appraisal Comments:
Even when I dedicated long hours to my work, including late nights, I faced criticism when I took brief moments to speak to my family. I was constantly called by my manager for even small breaks, and this was later reflected in my appraisal with comments about "spending time on calls" rather than focusing on work. It was disheartening to have personal moments with family misunderstood and used against me in performance reviews.
How does that sound? It highlights the main issues but also helps potential employees understand the challenges they might face.

Lack of Clear Promotion Hierarchy and Unrealistic Expectations
The company does not have a proper hierarchy for promotions, making career growth unclear. Despite working long hours (often 17-18 hours a day) to meet tight project deadlines, there was little recognition for the effort. Many projects are signed without sufficient technical resources, leading to unrealistic expectations. For example, integration tasks that typically require a year were expected to be completed within just three months, adding undue pressure.
Unfair Appraisal and Poor Work-Life Balance
Although I worked tirelessly and often well into the night, my time was scrutinized when I spent brief moments talking to my family. On several occasions, my manager would call me if I took even a 10-15 minute break to connect with loved ones. This was later reflected in my appraisal, where it was noted that I was "spending time on calls," instead of focusing on work. It was disappointing and demotivating to have personal time with family misinterpreted and negatively impact my performance review.
