Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

- Dont go for senior roles, - They dont pay much after you join, the Promotion and Salary Hikes are very difficult. - Only few teams that are priority to Senior Management get more visibility (and budget), others its regular work, even job cuts. - Lack of learning opportunities and too much of marketing and show-off while reality is not so great! - Getting a good manager is difficult - most of them care about themself, some behaves to the worst and added politics.
