good compensation & benefits. Flexible work culture

Salary - Good

Dislikes

Ahmedabad engineering team (earlier cyberoam) was bought by Sophos. Slowly power is shifting to Bangalore, so Ahmedabad team doesn't coopertate to bangalore teams at all. In the name of no-spoon feeding, there is no cooperation, no mentoring, guidance, sharing knowledge etc. Managers from Ahmedabad hardly have any communication with bangalore team. Also there is hardly any communication or reachability in higher management from Sophos. Work wise also, I worked on random non core domain projects. So waste of time. However, there are few teams which operate independently in bangalore & has no relationship with Ahmedabad, which can be a good option.

The company policies sometimes baffle me. For simplest of the tasks there are no policies and no reporting available. The team in India is toxic. If you are outspoken, then forget your career growth. You have to do as they command you to do else, there are consequences.

Hi All, During a job opportunity, when the recruiter asked for my expected CTC, I mentioned 12 LPA, as my previous job's fixed salary was 7.8 LPA. Now, I’ve been shortlisted for the Product Designer role and have learned from some sources that their maximum budget is 14 LPA. How should I approach the negotiation? Would it be reasonable to ask for 14 LPA, considering I initially stated my expectation as 12 LPA? The job is based in Gurgaon, and I have 4.5 years of experience. Looking forward to your advice!
