- Good amount of work as most products get revamped regularly. - Opportunities to grow if you can speak up and add value to the company. - Wide range of products and domains(Mobile/Desktop/Web/Backend). - Excellent salary/compensation that's very competitive in the market. - RSUs while joining and during appraisal for great performers. Also offers Employee Stock Purchase Plan to all employees at 15% discount. - Occasional WFH has been an option even before the pandemic. - Really good Leave policy. Additionally, the company also provides mandatory year-end time-off to all during the last week of the year. August 16th is a holiday too, on account of NortonLifeLock day. - Global employee count has been reduced to 2500 from 11000....Read More

- Year end hikes are pretty low in the recent times due to cost cutting. But they try to compensate it with bonus and RSUs or during market correction cycle. - Some good perks have gone missing due to the same reason. - Good talents are retained but with reduction in the employee count the benefits have not improved but have become less instead. Hope this would change in the near future. - Ensure employees feel empowered and valued for all the hard and smart work they do and the faith they continue to have on the management during tough times, by compensating for the low hikes in the recent times and by improving employee benefits....Read More

Interview Tips & Stories

a senior software engineer

45 Days Into Notice & No Offers – What Should I Do?

I’m halfway through my 90-day notice period and have appeared for 5-6 interviews but haven’t cracked any yet. Should I keep pushing or consider withdrawing my resignation as a backup? How should I stay motivated and improve my interview performance? Looking for advice from those who've been in a similar situation!
