...asis. Just need to have good relation with manager who can approve the training. Salary hike and compensation is good compare to other service based companies. Work life balance is also good. Its better if you are at Bangalore location as Pune location has shortage of projects.

No better projects or i would say no projects related to C/C++ in Pune location except a few. After merging to harman and then samsung, it seems lot of clients has been moved away from Symphony. Apart from that everything seems ok.
