So effective 114 days WFO in a year which is fine and gives flexibility . Leaves policy is good with 21 annual leaves and 5 wellness leaves in a year.Health insurance is priced reasonably.

Seniors need to guide their juniors. Team leads need proactive involvement in sprint work. The manager made false promises while retaining the employee, but they were not able to fulfill the promise, then unethically extended the release date to complete ongoing project work.
