Good vision. Good and friendly employees around. No politics among employees The software director is very good and aggressive. Lot ti learn from him

Cons

Absolutely pathetic managers. Zero - Risk taking abilities No thought process on innovation or technology growth Managers are just here to delegate tasks They don't work. They just save their jobs Absolute shameless creatures Pathetic admin manager Restrooms stink. Public toilets are more clean Facilities are to the bare minimum. One can find rats roaming around On a US delegate visit, the facilities are improved to look better.. As soon as the visits end, the same old story.. Absolute hypocrisy
