Tuition reimbursement for certifications assigned by manager which is your self development also. working hours are flexible. work life is balanced. At 5 PM more than half of your office will be empty.

Dislikes

It varies from team to team. They assign QA related work to freshers. And being a fresher, i don't like it.

one of the best for work culture, job security, management is just awesome ( there are always few exceptions) Employee friendly company policy. A-lot of benefits that you might not be able to the full list anywhere in the internet. un-like the other organisation here the management is highly technical and are ready to help each other , no micro management, can be a dream kind of organisation.

Dislikes

Mostly QA leads are promoted to Engineering manager roles not the dev leads and that sometimes creates problem on Time estimations as Manager is not aware of development estimations for Safe family.

Work Details

I worked as i software engineer later lead team in perticular product, when ever wanted to learn a new technology they always helped to get the courses. and helped in every possible way not only in terms of new learning but it can be a person
