You simply cannot ask for more from any company during this time, there has been no single day pay cut and they are supporting a complete Work From Home by providing either a complete movement of you office desk or getting a laptop assigned along with docking for monitor (that too company provided). Apart from this Dongle are given to users who need them and cherry on top is providing invertors where there is frequent power cuts. Its truely an great experience working with Maersk. WE VALUE PEOPLE !!
