Working at GS. Moving to Flipkart now.
GS has bad worklife balance and too much process orientation. Lot of dependency on US people, felt like is a waste of time and energy.
Goldman Sachs. Culture is great, campus is great. Employee policies are also very good around leaves, etc. And then, bonus payout is usually higher than 10%-20%.
Go Flipkart ! Amount of learning would be lot more
Hi OP, they are offering me 30LPA fixed, the current fixed is around 24.5. How did you negotiate?
Don’t even consider joining Flipkart—GS is the better choice, and I’ve had experience with both.
How long does it usually take to receive an offer after the hiring manager round? It's been two weeks since my HM round, and my HR mentioned that my profile is currently under debrief
