Good culture and work-life balance. Everything is driven by managers at any level. Good company to work for but don't stay in the same team for a long time. keep changing the teams internally.

Dislikes

... stayed more years, Salaries are very less when compared to college fresh grads. and there is no rule that higher grades get more compensation than lower grades.

Great work-life balance. The ability to work from home depends on the team and is permitted if there is a genuine need. There are plenty of free resources available for skill development.

Dislikes

Due to recent layoffs, job security is uncertain. Promotions and salary increases have been impacted and are lower compared to other competitors.

Until you resign, managers will not recognize your worth. Pay is less when compared with competitors. Promotions happen rarely. Managers will not allow you to take leaves.
