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 timeto 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

SDE people of my team.

Dislikes

1. Take fine from people, if people misses any meetings or task deadlines (even though you could be blocked because of other teams microservices). 2. Can apply lockdown at any time, lockdown in this context is 7 days working per week, everyday is around 10-12 hours working. And there's no end of lockdown until Tech Lead starts feeling happy . 3. If you see Labour Laws of India then lockdown is in clear violation of it. but nobody can touch Fynd, because Reliance owns majority share in it. And lockdown is not 1-2 time scenarios, it's something that happens to every team in 4-5 months and have to go through with it. 4. Don't give work from home. 5<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. No Flexible Timings, instead hard timings of 10-12 hours, if leave early, would be made feel guilty</mark>. 6. Will give you continuous threats about Appraisals when time of them is coming. 7. Doesn't like to give appraisals. 8. Tech team and Product team is not aligned. 9. Half of the code you work upon will never see the Production. But the business team will give hard deadlines to finish it, and then suddenly they don't require it. 10. Never do documentation of products or requirements, but when things gets messed up, blame the development team. 11.To get the ISO certification, Fynd organises presentation and then a quiz after that, and gives answers of that quiz in the same meeting. Only the people giving presentation knows the importance, other than that , nobody cares. Not even 10% employees knows The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023. Again, Nobody can touch Fynd because Reliance owns it. 12. Tech teams use JIRA tickets, but if product lead wants to , he won't follow JIRA tickets. He'll just put the requirements in some document, and send you the document, reason he doesn't do documentation properly is when the product have missed cases on production, then it's your word against his. And, current stats says he'll win always. 13. Fynd is a new company, but it already has nepotism, lot of times you meet people who are brothers and sisters , or some relatives to the Leadership team. And you can't say anything against them in meetings. 14. But working in Fynd is quite easy, you should always remember that it's a business deal, they give u money, and you work for them, and that's it. Always make a boundary between personal and professional lives, or Fynd will ruin your personal lives. 15. Even though Reliance owns majority share in it, they never care enough do the management. 16. Tech CEO is an aspirational person, but he don't do management, that's why he gets fooled. He got WSR (Weekly Status Reports) every month or so, and put dates and numbers in it, and 90% of them are just lies. He should do surprise checks on these features and he'll know. 17. The business give fake promises and deadlines to their customers and their CMO too without discussing with anyone, and then dump the whole scenario on the Tech Team. And this happens for almost every requirements. 18. At anytime, they can put the employees on PIP in very large numbers, so they could reduce the layoff count and hide it from the Public....Read More

Had an absolutely horrible 4 months. There is no value for creativity. They call you unproductive if you work for more than 9 hours but since they're a 'start up' - they have 'heaps to do'. - I was made to do stuff which wasnt in my description and was called unproductive after delivering everything! I would never make the mistake of working with a startup in india ever again. It seems they want to create a silicon valley passion, but they forget to realise, ideas in silicon valley are valued and encouraged....Read More
