Flexible work hours.

Dislikes

Culture is bit of localized, mostly I think due to india management is from TN only. Majorly would hear people talking in Tamil during meeting. Recently company got good funding for expansion, but due to TN mindset they couldn't even think of anything outside chennai. They could very well opened new office in Bangalore but they choose chennai itself. Very narrow minded, sense of insecurity they don't want to expand to non-Tamilians. That is not good for company as whole - though its American MNC but filled with Tamilian at higher management or decision makers at KLA India.

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!
