Biocon provides an excellent interface in the field of Biosimilars/biopharmaceuticals.The good part is the employee gets a wide exposure to different fields.

The growth is low, especially in R&D, compensation is decent, 20-25%hike is good. Some managers do not care about an individual, but then it is case to case basis.
