- Vibrant tech communities for Java, Python, DevOps, AI, and more, supported by regular speaker sessions, hackathons, kata events, quizzes, and masterclasses.
- Organized practice groups ensure you're engaged even when between projects. Practices focus on upskilling in the latest technologies and preparing for client engagements.
- Supportive peer learning culture
- Hands-on exposure to AI through hackathons, internal challenges, real-world applications, and training sessions led by expert instructors.
- Dedicated innovation space called the Garage that encourages idea-sharing, experimentation, and leading your own POCs if the idea is strong.
Cons
- The onboarding and early weeks can feel overwhelming due to the wide array of initiatives and programs and with so many events and communities, - it might be hard to prioritize or balance learning with project work at times.
