There is a perfect Work-Life Balance in this compamy. There is complete job security. This is good environment for development and the aura is completely related to product development. Because of product development there is always continuous learning and improvement in terms of technology.

Dislikes
Compensation is decent for a start in this organisation, but the growth here is significantly slow. Since it is a product based development, there are lot of procedures and approvals required for implementation and a lot of definitive process are been followed. I felt that there should be an effective knowledge portal such that it would be very easy for the freshers for training on the job and the pressure would be quite less for seniors. Also over the period of time one might feel the work is monotonous and that management has to consider in rotating people within different verticals for contionous learning and challenges for the employees.
