Pros

I learned a lot. I enjoyed working with my direct manager and my immediate team. Working there helped me assess my career direction.

Cons

Difficulty working with other departments. Departments work in silos. Changes happen with little notice and it impacts employees' work. Sometimes the information released to employees can be vague and it affects how different departments work together.

Pros

Good work life balance and relax job .

Cons

There CTC looks huge and competitive to market standard for freshers. But in reality it's a scam. As a doctor you are unaware of this tricks. There is component of variable pay which they don't pay until you complete 1 and half year of you job association. And then pay 50 percentage of what has been assured. CTC include everything like gratuity insurance variable pay and what not... So if you have 11 LPA salary then in actual they are paying 7.5LPA only. So beware when signing contract with them. Also it is only better to get entry in PV world. Not good for long term association. Run from here and do not spend more than 1 year.
