Business Outlook

Pros

I always get more than enough time to complete the work, and I have never felt any pressure from the seniors to complete the work in an unrealistic timeline, better yet there never have been deadlines. I joined as a university graduate, and I got good mentorship, good projects, the proper time to learn things and then apply to the project. I would say you can't ask for anything better than this.

Cons

Ever since cisco completely took over, the senior employees are leaving and the company is becoming empty. My assumption, emphasis on the "assumption" that we are not getting paid similar to the competition and hence we are not able to find replacements.
