Nothing to like here

Everything about this company sucks. None of them have a clue of how a software industry works . From CTO to executive all are full of fake experiences and incomplete knowledge. Without chatgpt they can't even survive for a minute.

there is free coffee and the salary comes on time.

There is nothing to like. It is a toxic, fraudulent, sad place to work for. They hire 'product managers' and make them do project management, analysis etc kind of work which is irrelevant to skills. there is no onboarding process. They don't explain expectations, roles, responsibilities etc. They don't even do goal setting. They will say you don't meet expectations without setting expectations - beware. You will have zero job security here. Good, smart, hard-working people have been fired by inexperienced, stupid managers. Ask the head of the department basic subject-related questions - you will see what they bring to the table (nothing). Your salary will be below the market rate. Bosses - managers & senior management have no idea what they are doing - so many wrong decisions by seniors, and juniors have to pay the price. The seniors, at least for the product team, never take responsibility and the team suffers. Some favourite employees misbehave with females, and the management does not take any action. Some people are allowed to work from home indefinitely while others must come to the office even during emergencies and illnesses. If you are not a bootlicker, you will suffer here. UK counterparts can enjoy long holidays without disturbance. But Indians must be available during leave, holidays, and weekends - East India Company left and Blenheim Chalcot took its place. Beware - well-qualified people from elite institutes (tier 1 B schools) were lured by this company - 90% of them declined the offer. I wonder why. There is a basic infrastructure shortage - no chairs, no pantry to sit and eat in peace. You ask for a chair and they lash out at you as if it's your fault there is no chair. It's fun though, a game of musical chairs every day. HR is useless and will definitely throw you under the bus. If you are thinking of joining - check the LinkedIn profiles of all senior management folks. See the quality of your peers....Read More

Salary has tax benefit components.

Dislikes

Management believes in hire and fire policy. Whenever they get a new project they start the hiring process and hire the candidates. Once the project gets completed in 5-6 months they fire the entire team.

The good things about this place - Salary comes on time. Work life balance is great but due to a negative reason - there isn't much work to do in the first place, people are on bench for months at stretch. Some of your peers are smart and help you learn, but politics may stop this as people try to one up eachother.

Dislikes

1. Complete lack of structure - they are hiring at large scale without having any structure or processes in place. No onboarding, no process introduction, no expectation setting in a timely manner - many crucial things just don't exist. When the system (or lack of it) fails, the blame falls on people and they become scapegoats. 2. Lack of managers- what happens when 90+ fresh graduates are reporting to a single person, who is a first time manager? You guessed it - chaos. There are not enough managers and it cases tonnes of unresolved issues. 3. Since there are no processes, people can twist the situations as they want. Eg. No response from manager means you have to assume leave has been denied. 4. There is zero onboarding for new joiners and absolutely no support provided in early days. It's acceptable if the managers don't respond to your queries, but not if your work gets affected due to this. The impact of this on people's performance is obviously largely negative. 5. Some times, people don't get projects for months at stretch and being on the bench for a long time might not be a happy place for everyone. 6. A complete lack of culture as 99% of the workforce has been recently hired. People with unacceptable behaviours are tolerated because they keep pleasing the bosses and clients, but treat others like shit. 7. Remote work policies are extremely biased. Some folks are allowed to work remotely, but their reporting team has to strictly work from office, irrespective of circumstances or emergencies. 8. If you decide work here, keep applying to other jobs - because you will never know when you will lose your job. Worst thing about this place - terrible, terrible in terms of job security. Most important advice: If you are letting go of other job offer for this company - we urge you to reconsider - a stable, organized workplace is much better. There is no job security in this place, so take time and decide wisely....Read More

1) The monthly salary is way too little. Get ready to be underpaid if you want to work here. 2) Office is full of politics. Get ready to deal with lot of office politics. 3) No job security. You could be terminated without any genuine reason of yours. 4) Your line manager will force you to report for office everyday. There is no concept of hybrid work here.

A few people who are new in organization and have come from good one, hence are professional. The tenured one are too rigid and old school.

Dislikes

There is definitely no job security, no matter at what level you are. No flexibility for work from home, even if you die. Leaders do not have clear vision hence always confused. You can only survive if you shut your mouth and close your eyes and say Yes to Mr CEO, (who is too moody that his reportees are always scared to talk to him).

I like how they try to be cool but aren't.

Dislikes

Firstly you will like the environment & you will survive if you don't speak up. There no corporate culture here, its like a close friends running the whole business. One thing about the company is ANY THING CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME. Be ready to get laid off, be ready to see your junior becoming your senior. They all listen to you but then you will be targeted. NO BONUS, I mean 5% increament? Are u serious? And the FAVOURITISM, OMG its in the DNA here everybody who is important is a known of other important person. There no criteria of hard work only CONTACTS work here. People who really wants a change are replaced East India co. as we call it. They don't give bonus/ increment to employees but replace them with someone new with a hike. People just leave this organisation in 6 to 1 year max. And if they stay more than that they'll surely leave after the increment. Advice to Management: Stop hiring referral of leads, managers or colleagues from previous organisation....Read More

Management 0/5 Culture... huh, no such entity exists, What else? Favouritism, Superb office politics, Don't know for what role they are hiring, ie. pilot hired for cabin crew's job. Job security: anytime you could get a HR call for a quick meeting, they could be your last 30 mins in the office. Nearly impossible to say why you are getting fired.
