Everything. They are just bunch of English speaking buffoons. No work life balance. No creativity any of the work delivered. Worst place to even be a part of.

Where do I begin?!
TLDR - Life is hell here.
("Be comfortable being uncomfortable" - owner)
Generally,
It's a messed up place. Owner constantly puts down people every townhall by quoting popular individuals (often out of context), saying people should contribute more by taking on more responsibilities INDIVIDUALY, not as a team but say we should work as a team. But it's impossible to keep track of expectations as he'll expect an exact opposite on next week townhall. He'll constantly put you down by splashing your mistakes right at your face under the pretext of coaching you to excellence.
Career prospects:
You'll be expected to do a lot of things, which they never breathe at first but it'll slowly be asked of you. Once you realise, you'll already be chest deep in the quicksand and you have no idea of your role in anything. Appraisals and salary revisions are considered only after request. No automatic process, nothing. They expect a jack of all trades out of you. You can't expect an area of specialization. You also have to keep a record of your accomplishments and stuff as management is way too busy to keep track of something this insignificant. Portfolio level work would be of your own effort.
Office culture:
Firstly, you'll be too busy to have even have a good coffee break with people constantly breathing down your neck to get work done. Everyone are expected to engage directly with clients, deadlines would be confirmed without any knowledge of your workload but you would be "expected" to meet deadlines somehow. Rules are ambiguous to begin with so they change according to the owners mindset of the week. Basically the entire agency revolves around a certain person but that person has no idea what goes around within the office. Nothing gets done on time, management wise - government offices would function much faster. Outings with team are generally done over the weekend as work shouldn't be affected over something as insignificant as these, provided they plan one. You can count such events using your fingers. Everyone will be expected to be self accountable.
Work life balance:
Saturdays and Sundays are off but you shouldn't take that for granted because you'll be expected to be available 24x7. Work is the priority. 12 days a year casual leave and 6 days sick leave.
Compensation?
There is no PF, no bonus, little to no allowance. A certain person takes great pride in depositing your salary on time, every month. Its an achievement. You'll be given a crappy laptop that struggles to meet your professional needs. If you want an upgrade, its best to bring your personal laptop.
If you have no luck and have circumstances, apply here....Read More

Salary is credited on time.
Dislikes
- nagging, controlling, micro-managing, toxic and emotionally damaging boss who thinks he knows it ALL
- no respect for one's personal life
- while the world is attempting to move on from 5 day work weeks to 4 day, this organisation is hell bent on making it a 7 day work week
- no scope for you to take care of your mental health
- boss and management preaches to be "people first" and posts all kind of bull shit on linkedin, but does not practice ANYTHING...Read More

Free food for lunch. And some coworkers are nice. That's it.
Dislikes
1. 12+ hours of work every day.
2. Too much responsibility on one person
3. Cannot stick to job role and description
3. Hideously understaffed
4. Tedious and obnoxious 'culture'
5. Boss will say what he wants, be as rude as he wants and call it 'forging you from a coal to a diamond'
6. No respect for mental or physical health
7. Will be expected to be available 24x7. Yes, even on public holidays and weekends.
8. Monthly 'appraisals' where obnoxious questions will be asked in the form which you have to fill out every single month. And this is not even linked to your increment / promotion appraisal.
9. They'll tell you that you can 'grow' but cannot acknowledge that everyone functions differently and pressure you
10. They call themselves a 'people first' workplace but have zero respect for your personal time, space and interests
11. You are not an 'asset' if you stick to just doing your job.
12. You're expected to work like you own the company but you get paid below industry standard
13. Your good ideas are good only if the boss says they are. Otherwise you are worthless
14. Boss will blindly agree to client requests without keeping in mind the employees' time and will ask to adhere to crazy deadlines
15. They will keep denying you a raise saying that you need to perform better. In their eyes you will always need to perform better
I could go on but I'm tiring myself out...Read More

One of the worst companies I have seen in my over all experience. Firebrand labs is the place of partiality, under rated, fake etc. They will not think about our future, our family nothing. They want us to do work for them anytime. I have faced lot of issues with them. They will suck work from us but while appraisal time they blameus. Now I escaped from there. While I joining in my new company where (Novac). Where I am working right now, Novac wanted to know about me so they contacted firebrand labs have some words. Firebrand replied he was not good with us and they lied about me. But While I am working them, they were praising me for my performance and they tried to change my decision about relieving. But I didn't continue working them. So they started lie about me. But Novac didn't here them. And proving myself here. So my suggestion is not join in FIREBRAND LABS....Read More
