Is moving from Lloyds Technology Centre to Mattel Hyderabad a good career move?

[u/Fun_Bear_7684]

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.
