Terrible Rating and appraisal system. Also their designations are so limited that most people keep waiting for a promotion for years. (Unless of course you've buttered up your reporting manager)

It's just a brand nothing else. They offer you good salary and designation so that you join, but they will ask you to leave the organization whenever they feel like with no reason. This month itself they asked there 35 employees to leave the organization as they realized that their head counts don't require this much employees.

Dislikes

Nothing to like about this company..

Compensation and benefits are awesome, they provide excellent peripherals to make your work from home comfortable and easy. Very good insurance policies and holiday benefits. Fair appraisals.

Dislikes

Company is not up to the standards of other American companies, people treat work as first priority, they work to meet the deadlines to impress others hence messing up their work-life balance. Unnecessary meetings and no growth, everything here is in-house application which even mastered will not be useful outside. Everything even useless issues are treated as top priority, if you prefer a job/work which is to impress higher management by showing dominance rather than your talent then it will suit you.

Salary Expectations

I am a Social Media Specialist with over 4 years of experience and was earning around 4.5 LPA in my previous role. When I joined my current organization, I discovered that my manager, with just 2.5 years of work experience, was earning a compensation of 7.6 -8.2 LPA (approx). This was quite surprising to me, and it made me question the market standards. I am currently looking to switch roles and, based on my research through Glassdoor and other sources, I am expecting a package of 7-8 LPA. However, many HRs I’ve spoken to feel that even 6 LPA is too high. What should be the ideal salary expectation for someone with my experience in the current market?
