Company only runs on internal politics. If you are too good with internal gossips & can butter really well you will be promoted in no time. Managers are greedy. Expect you to gift them expensive stuffs. Highly non professional managers. No skill set required to become one. HRs do not listen or act on the complaints. All employees are under paid.

Of-course, there is a lot of politics. After reorganization the complete work culture is collapsed and looks like hard to survive with the current management.

Taking layoff decision at covid time is very pathetic.. moved employees and their families on road. Might have wait for sometime to settle the covid situation so that employees can search jobs.

No support. Just layoffs randomly based on the whims and fancies of the director. No recognition for good work. All you need is to be in the good books of the director which doesn't need any talent.

New offer. Confused.
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?
