The company is very dynamic and open for challenging statuesque. It always strives to give high-quality products to its customers. I acknowledge proudly for working in the 'Best Place to Work' award winning company for many years, that it respects all individuals be it internal or external with respect and dignity. Company is very open for discussion and suggestions from the employees and gives award for the same. I appreciate its excellent work culture and caring the employees in their needs. It gives career growth opportunities and gives hand holding help till the employee is confidently takes up the position. Periodic training to the employees keep them updated in the skills & Technics and also encourages external training also. I also like the employee re-hire policy of the company.

Dislikes
Compensation is decent. High expectation leeds to high work pressure leading to work for more hours or work from home to keep the space. It might affect work life balance some times which one should face when situation demands. Most of the time it happens on-job training to the freshers since there are no formal induction training etc. this leeds to dependency on Managers and superiors.
