Their leadership and upper management. Also there is so much of unnecessary team politics. And the work is very redundant, nothing much to learn in analytics side of Salesforce. Just keep completing those stakeholders requirements without knowing why are we doing it.

The facilities they provide for their employees are exceptional. They have designated salary ranges for each position. If you get a role, they will offer you compensation within that range, regardless of your current package.

Dislikes

Getting promotions can be extremely difficult. Your total years of experience hold little value. If the interviewer likes you, you might secure a high position with minimal experience. Conversely, if the feedback is unfavourable, you might end up in a low position despite having extensive experience.

1. Work life balance and everything depends upon the project you are in. There are fair share of Good as well as Bad Projects here. Although you learn a lot usually when you are in Bad project but your life can become hell. 2. You don't get Shares as part of your package on roles STC and below. You can purchase your own though. 3. These days they are cutting cost on everything so appraisal are average but still better then other consultancy companies.

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!
