...lly give you udemy license and you can study of your own what you want to learn. Salary is average for freshers but for experienced people they give you more hike than other service based companies. Work life balance depends on project to project but it's overall good. No one will disturb you after 6 pm and on weekends because there are very matured peoples working here.
