Pros

LKQI is the best decision in my life till date. It has been 7+ years and a wonderful journey so far. Any individual would always desire to work with an organization, where there are opportunities for learnings, growth with mutual respect and a great value system. LKQI is one such great organization which has continuously practiced fun@work culture and has provided family work environment. I always say that, I am very fortunate to be part of LKQI and to closely work with a great leadership team. I thank the leadership team for all the recognition, growth, exposure to the global business, learnings, life lessons and many more that came in my way in these years. The "fun@work culture" , "we are a family - belongingness" and "positive work environment" brings in a lot of energy to taste the success everyday.

Cons

Wishing all the success to the Organization in all its future endeavors.
