Good work-life balance, but limited opportunities for growth

Solution integrator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance, no pressure as such. Good if you want to learn.

Cons

The senior people are happy with work-life balance, hence they don't switch companies, which doesn't open opportunities for young talent to remain in the company for long. You'll mostly see people with work experience of less than 5 years or more than 10 years.
