As mentioned with my ratings above, Fynd is an incredible place to work at, I love the environments, the events & learning seminar held almost every week, amazing managers and leaders we have have. very skilled & knowledge team-mates which makes my constantly improve my self to reach their level. Fynd always encourages learning and is always diving into new trends. Also love the daily free lunch / breakfast, small eateries which comes every 3rd day 10 / 10 always recommending Fynd to friends and family The reason I give Job Security a "3" is because I truly believe that "job security in corporate is a myth", in order to survive one my constantly up-skill oneself (Fynd strongly encourages this), build their network & connections....Read More

Till date I do not have anything I dislike about Fynd. If i have to point out something i do not like/enjoy (gun to my head), it would be the chinese lunch which comes once in 2/3 weeks and pretty average Tea here(coffee's good).

Dislikes

Extremely toxic. I couldn't go to sleep in peace thinking next day i have to go to office and deal with those people, the slack notification dingle gives me anxiety. This is not product based company this is a service company for motabhai. They even changed notice period to 90 days. All managers and sde3s are incompetent, have no management skills or experience as these people are just promoted to lead role because they've been in the company for too long or they're upper managements favorite. Work life balance and mental physical wellbeing is a joke here. If you decide to give up sleep and only work 24x7 you will become your managers favorite employee and your example will be given to others saying this is how ideal employee looks like. Sde3s and ems do absolutely nothing, attend three meetings a day and make s*hit ton of money. If you are your managers childhood friend or favorite in general then you can get away with absolutely no work else you will have to work till death to get appraisal....Read More

There is good learning opportunity as there's a good tech stack and smaller teams, so there are diverse learning options.

Dislikes

The senior management, the culture. Delivery is more important here than Quality. The code quality is bad. Also the review and appraisal process is unjust, compensation is not upto market standards.

Dislikes

Fake emergencies, Unnecessary strict deadlines, No work life balance. You sit on edge of the seat and work for 10 hours from office and then you go home and work. So much work and work pressure that it feels like a Chinese factory - people are getting kidney stones as there is no time to relieve yourself, getting fatter by stress eating, getting hypertension as everything needs to be done by EOD. There is always a never ending list to finish. You get up and think about this work is remaining and that work is remaining. Code quality is so bad that most of the time is spent in testing and retesting, you keep on providing answers to reliance about why this issue keeps on happening again and again. No process for anything. If Reliance says they want now, you deliver now. You cannot pushback as they will call the founder and escalate and in the end, you will have to do it. Instead of product manager, you work as a Product owner, Customer support, Product support for Reliance. No product management is done if you get a Reliance product. Team managers don't manage teams properly as they are also firefighting all day or are just bad managers. All 5 stars are by HR and Admin department. Also, if you see on LinkedIn about the activities and think what a culture, remember that there is so much work that there is no time to attend any events. So many leaves provided, but you cannot take them as if you go on leave, then deadlines will pass and there is no substitute for handover. Also, even on leaves, you are expected to be available on Slack, calls, reply to emails, etc. I have seen Leads not taking vacations in years! No time to think about personal chores to do after office as you are working after reaching home and even if you get time you will have not mental bandwidth. How we use to think when we were kids that if it rains today then I will not have to give this test, same thing but instead of rain you are wishing for something else. If money is everything for you, then this is the right place. If you want a decent life, then think twice....Read More

Salary. My manager is good. Not many good managers in fynd, so do your research.

Dislikes

Culture is more like decoratorship. If you don't do something(not part of your job profile but due to time crunch you just got to do) then the culture says that it will effect your appraisal negatively. They say everyone in fynd are master of all.
