Thank you for taking out your time to submit a review and share your experience. We are glad to hear that you had access to several US based projects and found some of them valuable for learning, as exposure and skill building are important parts of professional growth. We also understand your concern that work life balance can vary by project and that support focused work may not always meet development expectations. We want our employees to have the best experience at work, which is why we run regular surveys where associates can share feedback on workload, project experience and team support. These insights are reviewed seriously by our HR teams and leadership to guide improvements. Your feedback highlights how project structure plays a key role in day to day experience.
