      Great place to start and grow in Automation Testing with strong learning opportunities

      Senior test automation engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good company for freshers to start their IT career and gain strong project exposure. Opportunity to work on multiple technologies like Selenium, Playwright, API Testing, CI/CD, and Agile methodologies. Supportive teammates and collaborative work culture in most projects. Good learning platforms and internal training/certification opportunities. Exposure to enterprise-level applications and client interactions. Work-life balance is decent depending on project and client. Opportunity to transition from manual testing to automation testing. Flexible to learn modern tools and AI-assisted development practices. Stable organization with good brand value on resume.

      Cons

      Salary hikes and promotions can sometimes be slower compared to market standards. Project allocation highly depends on business requirements and luck. Some projects may still use older technologies/processes. Internal job movement process can take time. Recognition and growth opportunities may vary between projects/managers. Work pressure can increase during release cycles and production deployments. Decision-making process can sometimes be slow in large organizational structure
