...ith. But I should say it also purely depends on the team which we have put into. The salary is higher for freshers and lateral compared to other companies.

There is nothing to say on this. It employs a huge chunk of freshers then fires them after 2 years coz the company doesn't want to pay fair increment or incentives.
