The first 1.5 years in this company were great.
I met amazing co-workers.
Work was stable.
There was no crunch.
The last 1.5 years were terrible.
- Lack of work
- Stagnant environment
- No real skill development
- Repeating everything over and over
- Poor salary compared to people with my experience
- Stuck in my career because there was no work for me at the moment
- No bonuses at all (one per year and not a big one)
I think bonuses are crucial for motivation. Being stuck on a junior position just because you didn't have enough utilization, for me, is a joke.
Getting a raise and changing bands should not rely on your poor management of work.

One aptitude test and one vocabulary and e-mailing test. Both were online tests. The aptitude test was for an hour, while the other was 20 minutes long. Whoever cleared these rounds would almost get into the company, unless they made some blunders.
