Get good salary and RSU on joining, once joined upto 9% (if rated extraordinary) max hike is expected.

Salary - Good

Dislikes

1. No work at all, so no learning. 2. Company is not software company, so if you are into hardware, networking and security, that's good. But if you are into cloud, software, IaaS please avoid this company, it can screw up your overall technical expertise. Since they don't have any software related work. 3. Leadership will never settle down here as a result of which you will experience org changes thrice in a year. And you will be moved to different orgs with no technical benefit at all. My suggestion: Get the offer and never join it.

Hikes are very minimal and non existent sometimes. Average salary is below the industry standard in product based companies. Lot of higher level management politics and frequent reorgs with directional changes. Not a company for people expecting high quality work and competitive pay.
