The salary and benefits are good. It is also a con since once you are in that salary range there are no other companies outside lilly willing to give you the expected salary.

Salary - Good

Dislikes

They promote culture so much but in reality the upper management do not follow what they preach. There is retaliation if you raise concerns. They do not take action on survey feedback. Promotion goes to only people who talk aimlessly and not to the people who actually put in the work. The upper management will take the credit for your work. Recognition is some teams is almost nil. The company was good until 2020 but after that it was a downward spiral for employees.

Decent salary and work life balance(Depends on the team though) Company values Company culture(decreasing now a days and in the download slope)

Dislikes

I wrote this section and then AmbitionBox says it's inappropriate. Fish eaters dominate the company and they bring in their BS politics to the organization like Lilly. Nepotism at its peak. Technically sound will not survive and will get frustrated. Lot of decision making process. Micromanagement at its peak but M level say it's not micromgmt. Nothing else to say. You go through the reviews and take a decision about joining. Good luck!!

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!
