No Bonus for 2019, 2020, 2021 No incriment for 2020, 2021 Politics at every level. Micro management. Managers will not let you take sick leave. You need their permission to fall sick even during Pandemic No work-life balance because of rotational shifts that does not rotate for 1.5 years. If you are in NA shift, you will be there for 1.5 years No career growth or promotion or switch role. They will conduct 5 rounds of interview same as an outsider. It is much easier to get a job out of VMware than inside. There is no concept of promition to another role or Supervisor or Manager. Its via an interview process and they prefer an outsider to an insider

Health insurance involves an employee co-pay. That is simply not good insurance! Additionally no dental or vision coverage. I am quite surprised VMware still lags behind in this, given it is a relatively low-cost benefit that an employer can provide.

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?
