The old boys club, no respect for new ideas and experimentation. The Bengaluru Technology Hub Center has terrible insecurity and always in disagreement with onsite folks. It's politics form initial fee weeks. Certainly onsite and India management hand in glove in making sure people don't cross there sphere of influence

I'm currently working as a customer service representative at elsevier. Working as customer service at elsevier, I learn new things and develop my skills at handling different kinds of customers.

Dislikes

For me, what I dislike working in elsevier is that they have a very poor salary for their employees especially in Philippines. They only paid minimum wage where it is very low. Our job is not that easy and we manage to handle many emails and inqueries everyday but we didn't get the salary that we deserved. Some of our colleagues are quitting their jobs because the salary is not competitive. Also our management is not that good and a very toxic environment.

My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133. I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter). This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?
