Good company to start your career or if you want to settle

Software engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1)Good work life balance 2)Have time to prepare for further studies. Also, for senior people the company provides a relaxed environment compared to other companies. 3)Manager organizes monthly catchup with employees individually. Helps to put your problems on the table. (But this may vary department to department.)

Cons

1) Very miser in giving hike (Even to best performing employees). 2) Growth is kind of slow after a while. 3) Product/domain knowledge has more priority than technical skills. 4) Induction program for new joiners is really bad. The only way you learn most of the knowledge is when you work in the team for some time. Your efficiency kind of takes a hit.
