It's just the dream company. Gives you perfect work life balance, great work culture, newer technologies and vast area of growth if you really try. It's a self service company which means you need to monitor your own growth, no one will follow up with you on regular basis. You can learn a lot if you want also can maintain excellent work life balance.

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.
