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.
