Its a good company with good work life balance. If you want to stay longer in same company and work without stress then this would be best for for you. As of now I have not heard anything about layoff so it is better in terms of job security as well.

Dislikes

Poor Salary, Poor Management. People in leadership team needs to be proactive a bit. They talk about many things in the meeting but nothing happens actually. They have Limited projects with very old technologies.

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?
