...zation which takes care of your every needs right from work life to family life. Salary is good compared to work but you must be prepared to move places without any choice.

Job security - Excellent

Dislikes

The disparity between Officers and Men is huge and still it works on the principles of pre- independence British culture where the Officers draw a line and don't allow the Men to grow in their work life. Ironically this disparity travels to your families also which is very disturbing sometimes. Credit is always taken by Officers for any good work as if only they run the show.

Company culture - Poor

New Job, Higher Pay, Now I’m Feeling Awkward

I’ve been at my new job for about six months now, and everything’s been going great! I’m getting positive feedback from my manager, and I get along well with the team. The thing is, when I started, my salary offer ended up being much higher than the initial number discussed during my interview. I didn’t negotiate and just accepted the offer. So, fast forward to happy hour with the team, and the topic of salary comes up. I, unfortunately, shared what I’m making, and let’s just say... it didn’t sit well with the others who have been on the team for years and make less than me. They weren’t mad at me, but now I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and unsure how to handle this situation. Has anyone had something like this happen? How did you deal with it? Let’s chat!
