However, these are most common things that you will come across all IT companies. Just learn to survive, upskill and excel.

Good company culture. Flexible work timings.

Dislikes

Growth will be slow unless you are popular among management and colleagues. There is favoritism and whether you have a good career or not depends on the project you choose. Mentality to please the customers is there everywhere and there is little importance given for individual growth.
