Work-life balance - Good

Dislikes

...erial rating still they have not given me any satisfactory hikes or benefits 5. I resigned the company inspite asking HR for better competative salary and HR hold the decision for almost an year and 3 months still I only got 9% hike. 6. No external benefits like free meals, snacks, wellness programs, or internet reimbursement. 7. Recently mass layoff of almost 400 employees happened in 2023-2024 . 8. People who are from Lucknow and other parts of India takes longer WFH and people around Kerala always have to test the things done by them. Company never treats employees alike 9. No matter how hard you work you hardly get chance to work in the area that interest you even if projects are open.

when i started working with this company , on the initial 6 months of training, they neither taught us anything nor gave any task to do 🤣

Dislikes

...fore completing a year they will fire us with lame excuses like bad performance. so they can avoid paying us the retention bonus which is a promised 50,000 which was in the offer letter. even people working in the company are not getting the retention bonus even after for 6 months after completing 1 year in the company. very pathetic experience working with nest digital

My current CTC is ₹7,80,660, which includes a ₹1,32,000 night shift allowance, and my monthly take-home pay is ₹72,133. I have received a new job offer with a CTC of ₹10,67,231, a monthly take-home pay of ₹83,333, and 192 restricted stock units (each valued at $60, vesting 25% after one year and quarterly thereafter). 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?
