There is no point if you get rating they do promotions and try to balance every associate salary on same pace . In promotions I got 80k where I am working on project and all other person on bench having 1.7lac increment in promotions. I have reason you have salary higher (because I have earn 4rating and made merit package high) I got promoted Programmer Analyst to Associate with 80K increment. Waste of your life and career if they won't understand your hardwork and dedication to your career. Better look at those who appericate it.

Work-life balance is good. Salary should have been more. It's quite difficult to survive in metropolitan cities with such salary as everything is getting costlier these days. Work environment is pleasing and behaviour of manager is polite and helpful.

Novartis Job Offer
Hi everyone, I have 3.6 years of IT experience and currently work at a service-based company in Pune. My current CTC is 14 LPA (13.5 LPA fixed). I recently received an offer from Novartis Hyderabad as Data Analyst level 3 with a CTC of 19.9 LPA (18.3 LPA fixed). Is this a good offer, or is it on the lower side for my experience? Would appreciate your suggestions! Any answers from people working at Novartis pls ?
