No good place to work

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some projects have modern technologies.

Cons

There are no salary raises. Even if you work there for 3+ years your salary will be the one you agreed at the beginning. Communication with managers is awful. Softskills is the number one thing on this company, you don't need any technical skills at all in order to take a promotion.

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Work Life Balance Challenging tasks sometimes which excites you Great Employee Engagement Activities to boost the morale Good Salary Structure and Tax Benefits No Politics, transparent environment Good Managers Exposure to foreign teams and clients

Cons

Only single one, is that, they should be increase the onsite opportunities so that the employees can get a clearer picture of product in a better way and exposure + direct interaction with the colleagues sitting in other place. This will also increase the collaboration level and team efficiency. Rest every thing is very good.
