Nothing that I can recall of. It's typical organization looking for people who say yes to management . Just say yes to ur manager.

Dislikes

It's depend on ur manager. Stay cautious with manager before disclosing anything. The Manager I got was pathetic.. He did fun of ur health issues in one to one conversation. They lack empathy. Always record ur conversation with manager or technical lead to save urself in future. Old days culture of Microsoft gone.. This is just like any other organizations u ever worked with. All depend on manager and his perspective on u.

This new position is closer to my home and does not involve night shifts. The offer letter is attached. I have also requested a ₹95,000 monthly salary increase and am awaiting their response. Could someone advise me on whether I should accept the new offer or remain in my current role?
