Work life balance is good. For managers and above, Variable pay is just as good as nothing. Consider there is no variable and whatever you get is a plus. HR process is very bad, they don't answer any question, you may expect a reply from Prime minister office, but don't expect solution from HRs. The assets you get (laptop, mouse etc) are outdated.

There are hardly any long term or even short term on site opportunities. The company needs to do much more in terms of building IPs, credentials to get big ticket projects.
