Awesome work culture but pay is low and learning curve is steep

Business Outlook

Pros

1) Work life balance is pretty good 2) Leaves policy is lenient which includes unlimited sick leaves but conditions applied and proofs needs to be submitted for long term sick leave. 3) Work from home allowed but again it might vary from manager to manager. 4) Non-work related perks are pretty awesome. This is for non-corona times. Every quarter you get to go for resort parties and once a year you're taken for a outside the city party, which is refreshing I felt.

Cons

1) Management people are very less technical and that's why appraisals are not well judged. People who are active in social media and talk to people more often will take away higher hikes. 2) Learning curve for freshers especially is very steep. I would rather recommend freshers to join startups if they prefer knowledge-based growth. 3) Pay is slightly on the lower side compared to current market including annual compensation.
