... is good for good performer and also helps them in ther career progression path. Work culture is good in bits and pieces, it can be still improved a lot, salary structure can be strengthened further. Experience profiling to right place in right time is to be strengthened.

Rather, I would say ISWPL is a good place to work with. Transparent feedback with right career development plan has to be put in place. Skilled based recruitment is what required for organization rather then making multiskilling. It us important to be multi-skilled but not in technical grounds where you need experiential knowledge to crack the issue.
