It is a very good company, with decent salary, Good job security, really good managers. In 1.8 years I old had one culture spoiling senior. Because of him 3 good engineer including me had put papers but when my colleagues told about his wrong behaviour in exit call. He was asked to leave the company by serving notice period. So I had taken my papers back.
