Business Outlook

Pros

World leader in mobile communication. Nice work culture.

Cons

Salary is still low, despite hard work & continuous learning. Less exposure. 2 and half year passed still not a fixed seat and still waiting for my first company trip. Continuous night shift. You cannot enjoy even on weekend, you don't know when you have to go to office. There is no work balance. Someone only enjoys and do not work & other only work and work
