Demanding work hours based on your role. Fast paced environment. You might find it overwhelming often times about the work (entirely based on your level and role ). The health insurance policy is basic as it will not covers only the employee and his family not mother and father.

From day one I was surrounded by talented colleagues who are always willing to collaborate and share expertise. There is a culture of open communication and team work which creates a supportive environment for personal and professional growth. There are plenty of opportunities for freshers to indulge with cutting-edge solutions and thrive in an SAP-rich environment as well as leverage valuable resources to hone skills and stay up-to-date with the latest technology. The employees can leverage platforms such as Udemy for professional growth. The appraisal cycle takes place annually solely based on your performance and the process is completely unbiased with regular feedback from managers on the goals that you set for yourself. Your hard work and achievements are recognized by the management and senior leadership which is truly commendable. The work life balance has never been a problem here. The management supports my decision to leave at a comfortable time which as a woman, I really appreciate. They offer decent medical insurance benefits to help with any emergency and offer remote work options. The work-culture is inclusive and diverse where every employee's opinions are heard and duly recognized. Overall, the company is a 10/10 recommend for every employee who is looking for an exciting opportunity to grow.
