My company has recently put me on a new piece of business that requires around 4 hours of total to and fro travel outside my city on a weekly basis. I wasn't really asked, the expectation was sprung on me. Can I say no? Any advice on how to advocate for myself best in this situation?

I've been following Coforge LinkedIn page, and I have decent offer from them. In one call HR said we will be moving towards 5 days work from Office, to which I said I don't mind. Now that aside, their LinkedIn posts everyone at VP SVP levels are joining.. seems like they are growing very fast, as hiring at such high Positions happens only that time.

Question is - whenever I compare Coforge with any other people say avoid Coforge.. Why????
