To talk about what i like in the company is that it gives consistent horrible culture and disease

Dislikes

Read every line as if it highlighted or written in capital letters. It’s not an organisation, it’s a stable where employees are literally yelled by management. Gives absolutely no reason before firing. There is no organisation worse than this. They can ask you to work at any time of any day of week. Like 3 AM(i know i am writing AM) at any Saturday or Sunday. Employees are treated no better than herds of cattle. HRs are just puppet. I wrote about working conditions to HR HEAD twice a month and started writing from second month onwards but never heard back in my whole tenure. People who have relations with Management can only stay there. I know i am writing a lot of negatives and someone can easily say this much cannot be true and what about people already working, so let me tell you about that as well. One of my friends worked there and resigned because his doctor said you shouldn’t work in this environment as it is degrading or i should say it causing so much impact on your mental health that you are getting Panic Attacks. Literally no one, repeating NO ONE should join. Or do it and see yourself becoming a slave.

My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133. I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter). This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?
