Work life balance is very good. One will get ample of time to learn and study. Office timings are strict 8:50 to 5:30 (extended only of it's required). Scientists and other contract engineers will support alot. One can get both software and testing related experience due to its infrastructure. Subsidized canteen food and peaceful ambience.
