Not a good company

Business Outlook

Pros

* Product based tag. * You will get the opportunity to work with latest tech stacks.

Cons

* Lots of politics. * If you have joined as Java developer then the management will give you some time to learn Scala, Concourse, halfpipe and kafka. They assess you by giving the tough assignment and sometimes they laugh at you as well. If you are not able to learn in the said time along with working in the project then the manager and hr will call you in a separate meeting and they will tell you to put paper or resign yourself and they will release you after 1 month. * Job security is not there.
