Hi Fishes, asking this for a friend working as SAP BASIS Consultant.
He performed well in TCS technical round and HR also seemed to be happy with his performance.
He asked for 8.5 LPA, his current CTC being 4.3 LPA, with little over 3 years of experience.
HR said they would call him later and after 4 days, HR called and said she was informed by management that they could only provide 6 LPA :(
Any idea why they offered him that less? He is very disappointed with the way things turned out to him

Work Life Balance is so subjective and doesn't give clear picture of any org.

For Instance, Person A less skilled/in learning phase will work for longer time to deliver task A

While Person B more skilled/ more experience will take less time to deliver task A.

There will be more reasons too. And some exception too

You can see this work-life balance as Pros and Cons in Glassdoor review of each company
