Pros

* Responsibility : Been here for less than a year, and I am working on a high impact project for which I am the only one responsible. This is the place for people who like ownership and responsibility. * Learning : Whenever I talk to my manager and my peers, I learn something new. This maybe because I am the new guy, but one thing for sure is that there are knowledgeable and helpful people around me. * Culture : Technocratic world. If you have knowledge it will be respected. Work life balance is very good. * Boss : My boss guides me both technically and through the managerial aspects and he is technically too sound. His boss guides him and me and he is also technically super awesome. * Activities : Book Clubs, Monday football, table tennis are some of the weekly activities

Cons

* Canteen is not that good. * No place for leisure activities. * Work from home is not an option
