Is moving from Lloyds Technology Centre to Mattel Hyderabad a good career move?
I’m currently working as a Data Engineer at Lloyds Technology Centre, Hyderabad, with around 4.5 years of experience.
My current CTC is around ₹12 LPA, and I’ve received an offer from Mattel Hyderabad for around ₹18.5 LPA fixed for a Data Engineer role.
I’m confused about whether this is a good move because Lloyds has some really good employee benefits — free cab, food, good health benefits, decent WLB, etc. The overall facilities are quite good.
The Mattel role looks better from a compensation perspective and seems to offer good exposure to GCP/data engineering technologies, but I’ve heard mixed opinions about the work culture/structure and I’m not sure about the long-term growth.
For people who have worked at Mattel Hyderabad :
- How is Mattel's work culture and management?
- How is the Data Engineering team?
- Is there good technical exposure and career growth?
- How are hikes/promotions?
- Is the work structured or mostly support/maintenance?
- Would you consider ₹18.5 LPA at Mattel a good move from ₹12 LPA at Lloyds?
Would really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people currently working there or who have worked there recently.
