none, nothing to see here.

Dislikes

... no one is going to appreciate and it will be considered as the bare minimum. 4. Compensation and benefits: there are no benefits and everyone is extremely undercompensated. we work on 4 or 5 projects simultaneously all the time and we are paid peanuts. 5. Career development: there are no programs within the organization for development. The company is all together not a employee centric company. Just focused towards generating money and pumping into senior management's pockets.

At least in CoE (Centre of Excellence) which primarily caters to the international research have the added advantage working from home. Client exposure is good, with a bit of learning. Really good for those who have inclination towards marketing and market research

Dislikes

At times the work like balance can be daunting. So is the pay structure. It’s below par the standard industry rates.

Compensation is good given the location I work from i.e. Kolkata

Dislikes

Work allocation and work pressure is uncertain, poor work life balance, 10-12 hours is average working hours/day for most of the employees. Annual increment is very low given the amount of effort everyone puts in and there is hardly any scope for new technical skill development.

There are different teams and you think one team is better than the other because few can hide their toxicity better than others, but eventually everything is just the same. what I like is that among so many sharks, if you are naïve and don't understand politics you will learn the tricks from the best.

Dislikes

...iri, and not when you are a true professional and follow professional ethics. No work life balance, no good compensation. Everyone seems sad and depressed. The seniors are watching you at all times, they are constantly looking at you and watching your move. some seniors are waiting for you to make a mistake and making this a big issue to make you the escape goat for all of their faults and shortcomings. Please don't join even if you think the money is good, it is not because you end up paying hospital and therapy bills.

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?
