The hybrid model is different and isn't working and they have started micromanaging attendence during onsite or connect time . Long timers have favourites and won't let others growth and get opportunities. Honestly have felt linguistic issue in Karnataka office , people keep speaking about work also in local language and if you observe around you there will be more people from wherever your managee is .Posts will offten be internally filled with these same language favourites....Read More

Great work life balance.

Job security - Good
Work-life balance - Excellent

Dislikes

Few folks in management (directors, senior directors and VPs, especially in WI business unit) run a cartel. Associates who don't bootlick and challenge the status quo, become a target of these people. Post that, they squeeze associates to a point where they are made to leave the org by themselves. HRs are also good for nothing.

Career Advice

a team lead

I'm getting a good offer after joining a company. It's been 10 days only . Can i leave it?

I recently joined a new company, and within 10 days, I received a more attractive offer from another company. Can I resign without serving the notice period? Would declining any salary and relieving letter (Experience Letter) it easier for the company to agree to my departure?
