From a fresher's point of view, they get really good exposure and responsibility compared to other similar companies. Company CTC is crystal clear (Almost Everything in-hand) and no hidden or tricky clauses or conditions. (Only) seniors/colleagues and managers are friendly and helpful. Fintech domain :)

Salary - Good

Dislikes

Initial compensation is good but the yearly raise is low. Also almost no bonuses apart from salary (yearly bonus is lower than monthly salary so not counting it as bonus). Promotion criterion is gimmick and there is a lot favoritism. Seen a lot of good folks leave because of this. So less career growth opportunities. Working hours are tricky as you would have to work with US folks and cope up with their timings. Job security is average. Almost no training other than few pre-recorded product videos. No cab service at all. Not much room for innovation.
