Easy to get work-life balanced in this company . They will give a good salary and appraisal. From the career growth point of view ...there is less opportunity here. There is one innovation lab is there for IT guys where you can provide your ideas and it will get promoted if it finds effective.there is very less onsite opportunity.

...t for people those who are in their initial phase of careers (upto 3-3.5 years).Company do not give deserving pay scale to Employees. Forget about work-life balance as there are alternate saturdays working and all the public holidays are converted to flexible leaves amd when you ask for flexible leaves then management has problems. Small issues like flap barrier not working, i cars not working, vending machines not working take months to get rectified and believe me , on daily basis its so irritating. Management responds so late (they even dont care to respond) if you have any queries regarding something and you raise the ticket.This place has worst cafeteria in while noida.
