As a whole very good company to work at. Management depends on the project you get based on that it varies. But mostly friendly. Work-life balance is so easy. The medical policy is good. Team outings are there but mostly for eating purposes,s not like an outting. Company leave policies are very good and flexible. Getting onsite opportunities are maximum here.

...e officer or CEO - CVK they will get good package leaving the developers inVain. The reason that they get good salary is because of developers they will not consider the developers. I don't why these people get such a huge salary. There is always a better person in the market than CVK or Chief people office. We need to replace with those people for the company to flourish and developers to flourish. Chief people office has stopped the Catalyst fund, when said this how they are going to giving good hike. Friends don't beleive white collars.
