INCREFF "Senior Management" Reviews

Likes

1. I get Alternate WFH weeks. 2. I get two meals + snacks, which are part of my CTC. 3. I also get free courses which is again part of my CTC. 4. (point 2 and 3) add upto a good amount, but they are non-monetary and there is no way to opt out of these. Hardly any more likes to write. (event point 4 is a dislike)

Dislikes

1. No Work-Life Balance: If you work until 2 AM, you're still expected to report to the office at 8:30 AM. The company doesn't respect personal time or the need for rest. 2. Lack of Management: The absence of effective management is glaring. There is no clear direction, and the leadership fails to provide the necessary support or guidance. 3. Reliance on ChatGPT for Decisions: Shockingly, half of the company’s decisions are made using ChatGPT, and they don’t even bother to provide proper prompts or relevant data for the AI to function effectively. 4. Appraisal and Promotion Policies: The policies for appraisals and promotions are the worst I've encountered. There is no transparency, and hard work is rarely rewarded. 5. Performance Bonus Scam: The performance bonus system is a scam. Despite working hard, employees are judged based on the company's unrealistic revenue targets. If the sales team underperforms, everyone suffers. It's unfair and demoralizing<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. The unrealistic goals set by the sales team are never met, yet the upper management from the sales department continues to receive their bonuses</mark>. 6. Unreasonable Expectations: The company expects developers to work like those at Google but pays like a typical SaaS company. The compensation does not match the workload or expectations. 7. Poor Treatment of Hardworking Employees: Many hardworking employees, who could have been assets to the company, were laid off due to the CXO's questionable decisions. Others left on their own after receiving a negligible increment of 0.89%, which was the first appraisal in 1.5 years. 8. Lack of Diversity in Hiring: Some teams lack diversity, which hampers creativity and innovation. 9. Poor Retention of Good Employees: The company does not retain good employees. There's a high turnover rate due to dissatisfaction with the working conditions and lack of recognition. Overall Summary: Join Increff only if you are desperately looking for a job. If you do join, start looking for another job immediately. The environment is toxic, the management is incompetent, and there is no respect for hard work or dedication.?*...Read More

- Hybrid policy & office timings is from 8.30 to 5.30 (I personally like it so we could avoid traffic) - Breakfast, lunch & snacks - Majority of the senior folks are so great as individuals. - Freshers will be able to learn things fast & gain good knowledge (may depends on the team as well)

Dislikes

- Micromanagement: It's so disappointing how the company changed from being so flexible towards developers to micro managing everyone. I strongly feel this should be changed. - Overhiring & Underpaying - Delayed review/appraisal/promotion cycles: We will receive the arrears, true, but delay for months effects the motivation. How can one give his/her 100% during those months? - Mass layoffs - Unnecessarily complicating the processes: We introduced extra processes at every step just so that more people get involved from a single work. Management should try to revisit & simplify the processes so that developers could concentrate more on developing rather than other stuff. Even the recurring meetings & MRMs usage should be revisited once - Fixed & Variable pay concept: They introduced concept of variable pay depending on company's performance. And there's no variable pay from last 3 quarters. Instead of this, variable should be on individual performance atleast, so it motivates hardworking folks. Or just remove variable concept for tech guys. - Decreased interview standards - Not a latest tech: We are still working on old versions of tech just because developers couldn't get atleast a sprint to upgrade stuff. This leads to us feel like we are - Getting more client oriented...Read More

It was a nice place when I joined sadly in a few months I started realizing that it was not a place to stay long term.

Dislikes

Failed strategies Unhappy teams and demotivating environment Impulsive and temperamental and biased and self absorbed co-founders Partial Managers Extremally low salaries and low hikes along with no job security for the past year - lot of lay offs when they are done with the person ThePolicies and Culture is a sham - once you spend time you can see it. Mental wellness program added but behaviors are only having more and more negative effect especially from department heads and co founders. So, good decision to shut it down, because no one is going to change. They have no money, no profits and no business sense to get past this time without harming their employees - so they lay off so many for their own money squandering blunders and they will move on to burn out the rest for their own selfish gains....Read More

The culture at Increff is pretty good. People are really good and approachable.

Dislikes

The management here is not good. This are really chaotic at times. And on top of it there’s no job security. You never know when you might get fired. On top of it you don’t get increments regularly or other benefits at all.

The culture sucks, upper management sucks. HR team has no work other then playing carrom and noticing who is taking breaks, this is also what the CTO does.

Likes

Hybrid work week. The people. They are the ones that keep you going in a toxic environment.

Dislikes

The top management have no clue what they are doing. They are champions of going back on their word. No vision or commitment to long-term results. This trait is preached by all the CxO's. Spent a boat load of investors money to expand into international markets without a clue or research into how to break into those markets. Now they're retracting their ill made decisions. They do not listen to the leadership who suggest strategy. Blinded by their own ego. Hired in bulk based on bad forecasts and fired in bulk because of the same. Imagine a company product that helps drive efficiencies for other companies, cannot do the same for themselves. There is no proof in the pudding. They cannot be trusted. They assured folks that business is doing well and that we are truly lucky to have jobs in this market condition and we should be thankful to Increff for this (this is preached every week). Fast forward 2 weeks later, after months of silent firing, they decided to fire in bulk. The senior leadership has no confidence in them and some of the key players have left, in the process of leaving or shown the door. Hope is grim, potential of the management is abysmal and environment is toxic. Stay away!...Read More
