Full WLB hai bro ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

Depend on you project and client

Culture is good. No micromanagement. Pretty chilled out. WLB is also good. Once office resumes that might take a hit as 10 hr working hr needs to be maintained. Job security is fine.

Okay๐Ÿ˜

Don't pay heed to rumours about Cognizant. It's a good org with wlb. It is the fact that recently attrition is high but that is not a problem. Everything will be fine. Though recently I left Cognizant and joined other org but be assured it's a good org to join. I have worked in many projects in my 8 years span. Everything depends on project friend. Here you can learn grow and also have onsite opportunity.

Culture is pretty good. Work life balance is also good.

It depends on project. In my project the wlb is not that great. But many of my friends in other projects have a very chilled out life, they work for 6-8 hrs a day at a max.
So this cannot be answered very specifically.

Hi all,
I am currently working in a small company as embedded system lead software engineer. I am not excellent but I am good at what I am doing.I joined last year with 13.5 lpa(all in hand) with 45% hike, after joining i realised it was a mistake as the culture was toxic. so I started looking for job from January onwards.After multiple trials I have an offer from endurance company pune. But the offer they are offering is less According to me just 25% hike(with variable).
Any suggestions on this
