Working in labs would exposure to more technical competency
Work life balance to the core (120%)
Prove Technically then growth would be taken care on its own
Excellant technical environment for Product performance Engineering. I learnt all aspects of Siebel CRM even after joining as a noob. Full performance server access, tool development opportunities, process improvment opportunities, mistakes should be taken as opportunities
Cons
Work becomes reptative after 2 years. Raise is only for few lucky chaps in Siebel QA. Performance Engineering effort are already matured so less room for improvment in the product I worked with. Flexible working hours.
