1. Work environment is good. Less politics and helpful colleagues. At least in Bangalore 2. Worked under 4 managers. All were very supportive and gave good opportunities. 3.

In case there are emergency they all cooperate and help each other.

Dislikes

...o exposure to AWS cloud, we use SAP BTP here. So it gets tough to change job. 2. Many employees are leaving the company because of poor salary growth. 3. They are hiring substandard employees and letting go off good ones. It will have poor impact on future projects.
