Just a good learning platform for freshers only.

Skill development - Good

Dislikes

Metrochem API Research and Development Centre offers a good learning platform for freshers but lacks competitive salary, career growth, and work-life balance. Strict policies, delayed increments (2-3 years), and an unfavorable work environment make it challenging for experienced professionals. While it provides initial exposure, long-term prospects are limited. Improvements in compensation, employee well-being, and structured career progression would enhance overall satisfaction.

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!
