Work life balance is very good. One will get ample of time to learn and study. Office timings are strict 8:50 to 5:30 (extended only of it's required). Scientists and other contract engineers will support alot. One can get both software and testing related experience due to its infrastructure. Subsidized canteen food and peaceful ambience.

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?
