Experience level: Confirmed

Great company, good work life balance,
Pros: 1. Good and challenging job opportunities if you are willing to search and go get it
2. Great work life balance. You can define to what extent you want to stretch. There are opportunities where you can work 9-5 and there are also opportunities where you can take on fact paced business needs
3. Extremely supportive colleagues and managers who stand by you during tough personal situations
4. Talented, warm, friendly and helpful colleagues
5. No/very less politics
6. All in all a very progressive work culture
Cons: 1. Average and sometimes low compensation. Hikes are below average
2. Growth is slow
3. PBC system which caused a lot of friction and low morale especially in a team where all team members are above average. Hence, rating any of them as average is not reasonable. This, I heard is changing for good
