Good company from point of learning and getting better exposure. Work culture is great. Bad from point of proper and adequate compensation and benefits. Do not expect timely promotions and appraisals. Had a very bad experience regarding a well deserved and eligible promotion.

It's a service based company like other WITCHA companies. Every thing will depend on the type of project you get and your manager. 10 hour shift which was introduced during covid because everyone was working from home is still going on Might get stagnated after few years.
