Guys, need your help. I have time till today afternoon to make a decision. I've been offered 15.25LPA by Publicis Sapient along with joining bonus. But I'm concerned about the work life balance as I've heard bad things in that context. Whoever is in Publicis Sapient (Java profile), please comment. I am set to join another company soon and they're asking me to sign and mail final documents. But offer is 4LPA less than PS. Is Thoughtworks worth joining at 11.4LPA and worth refusing 15.25LPA for?

Don't judge a company by reading few bad comments like this. On glassdoor, for every company you can see bad and good reviews, it doesn't mean the same happens with you also.
If people reject a company by just reading bad comments, then 99% of the offered candidates won't join any company.

I am working in sapient and i have good work life balance, and I would surely recommend anyone to join sapient. This is not a typical mnc like tcs, capg which will put you into excel kind of work.

They work on good technologies compared to other mncs.

You should choose what is more important to you and Accordingly choose to join or not.

One of my friends joined Sapient few years back because of high package and she left within year. She got hired as SFDC developer but she has to work on Ecommerce cloud developer, her condition was so miserable that nobody is used to sit with her while lunch, and forgot almost everything about SFDC. Management and people were not supporting her.

You have chosen wisely, TW is way better than PS.
PS recruitment teams are so aware of the fact that people are not joining them even if they offer crazy offers.
Glass doors ratings are a sham, people are forced to give good ratings or give positive feedbacks for GPTW.
Definitely not a place to be in, if you have a life outside of work.
