I worked at LKQI for more than three years and gained a lot of experience from the experts. Management is very friendly to the employees, they give full freedom to learn and explore new opportunities. -Very easy to interact and collaborate with other teams, since company organizes training sessions, festive/sports events and lots of activities which make my work more interesting. -Has a very good value system and a very supportive management which takes good care of employees and their families.

Cons

Since the company is growing very fast, administrative procedures should be automated instead of manual work.
