Work life balance. And incase if you are a female employee then they will take more care.

Dislikes

No job security, reorganization happens in every 6 months, when it comes to pay your overall package looks really good but the variable portion is very high, which in last 2 years we have not received. Also the on boarding is worst among any companies and I am talking much earlier than covid19. They finalized with me in July and I joined in mid April next year. There is absolutely no benefits, even the parental insurance is highest in the market. On top they keep calling themselves the best in every aspect.

Salary is competitive as per market standards

Dislikes

Skill set and job role mismatch Job security is a myth , it varies as per management interests If your Line Manager is good, then something can happen else you are on your own No one cares about you once you enter the company Rigid managers and no flexibility in changing roles or moving internally in the company Team and your project colleagues matter else rarely anyone will help you once you enter a project Fear of job is always there under the recent new management with lots of changes happening regularly in name of reorg/restructuring HR support is only for namesake, they are here to protect company’s interests, not yours
