Dislikes

Worst company. lack of culture at Pune centre. this company is a joke in the name of product co, the promotion and salary hike decided by HR manager in India. full of politics. product work mostly taken care by onshore guys. not much scope to learn. I wasted one and half years with this company, most of the good people I knew, already quit.

Dislikes

Internal politics are hard. No Job security even for the on roll employees. Candidates shouldn't join this company through third party. Otherwise you'll be definitely kicked off within 6 months without any reason despite of giving your 100% efforts.

Hi All, During a job opportunity, when the recruiter asked for my expected CTC, I mentioned 12 LPA, as my previous job's fixed salary was 7.8 LPA. Now, I’ve been shortlisted for the Product Designer role and have learned from some sources that their maximum budget is 14 LPA. How should I approach the negotiation? Would it be reasonable to ask for 14 LPA, considering I initially stated my expectation as 12 LPA? The job is based in Gurgaon, and I have 4.5 years of experience. Looking forward to your advice!
