-Field offs management is not a technical person and manipulative person . -Team lunch happens in cafeteria not in hotel as cost cutting - Performing rating but got 6%-7 rating. - No rotation force you to leave job - promotion only to non deserving because they are friend with top management so they will not give bad ratings. -Sr Managers/manager only bothered about rating and politics. - Management will decide your career management or technical? Not you - if company in profit they why all got less %.In name cost cutting Indian management ruining life of qualified peoples. -off shore vp is good he asked for clarity but sir our voice are suppressed because they not allowing our voice to reach you. - revenge was taken by them in increments, to shut people mouth. -Ruined culture of politics . Toxic environment. - Everyone do not like each other. - This is not culture of growth. Selected playing life of person for there own benefits.

a data scientist

Career decision - Job Switch. Need help in deciding on an offer from Crayon Data as "Data Scientist"

Currently I work for Verizon, as Data Scientist with 4 YOE and have a fixed salary of 10 LPA with variable coming around 2-3 more lakhs. The hikes (max 10-14% yearly), promotions, learning growth within Verizon are not that great but the work life balance and job security are very good. Due to financial requirements and to grow in my career, I wanted to switch job, so cracked interview from Crayon Data for Data Scientist role. They are offering me a fixed salary of 18 LPA and a variable of 2 LPA. Having this offer, I negotiated with my manager and she says that I'm next in line for promotion and can expect a 35-40% hike but that happens only in June/July & the salary changes start from September. And I asked if pay scale can be adjusted for my current role itself and she says that she can try to increase it by a little but there is no guarantee. Is it worth switching? My primary requirements are job safety, work culture, scope for learning. Any insights would really be helpful.
