AVEVA

Job Security Part of Aveva is excellent as it is completely evident in Covid-19 phase when most of the companies (even giant companies) were giving layoff to their employees, Aveva was still holding its position. Work Culture in Aveva is excellent, it is as transparent as water. Company Policies are very employee friendly, it gave me extra leaves in case of my marriage, my mother's hospitalization and in case of my father's funeral so you don't need to worry about leaves in critical situation. This company gives a perfect Work life balance to its employees which makes working at aveva more interesting and enjoyable.

Only drawback of working at Aveva is Salary Graph. There is huge difference in compensation to a person having 6 yrs of experience and a person who has recently joined company with 8 yrs of experience. Though both of them are working on same project with equal responsibilities. Also the salary growth graph doesn't looks so promising.
