Kilowott Engineering - Software & QA Department Reviews

Likes

Having been a part of the company for the past three years, I can assert that my experience has been largely positive. The nature of projects is challenging and provides numerous learning opportunities. The leadership team is supportive and forward-thinking, cultivating an environment of trust.

Dislikes

Work hours of 8hrs 30 min is exhausting for the software engineer and not as per industry standard. Some of the processes need to be improved which makes working too complicated and hinders organization growth. Employee benefit policy has to be improved a lot because of which most of the people seems to leave the company.

One of the standout qualities is the collaborative and helpful nature of the team. Whenever I've faced challenges or needed assistance, my colleagues have consistently demonstrated a willingness to support and share their expertise. The accessibility and understanding exhibited by both managers and the HR team are noteworthy. The open-door policy and approachability of our managers create an environment where concerns can be addressed promptly. The projects I have had the opportunity to work on have been instrumental in my professional development. The assignments not only align with my skills but also provide avenues for improvement and growth. The company understands the importance of work-life balance and has implemented flexible work hours along with a hybrid work environment....Read More

One aspect that I believe would significantly enhance our project outcomes is a greater inclusion of experienced professionals. While our current team is undoubtedly talented and dedicated, incorporating individuals with extensive industry knowledge could bring a fresh and seasoned perspective to our projects.

I appreciate the flexibility and convenience that come with working remotely at Kilowott. it allows me to maintain a healthy work-life balance, eliminates commuting stress, and fosters a more focused and productive work environment. Additionally, the collaborative and supportive culture at Kilowott makes remote work a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Dislikes

I have a few concerns about Kilowott, such as the absence of bonuses and no provision for occasion gifts like during Diwali. Additionally, the lack of overtime compensation is the point of dissatisfaction for me. I also find it inconvenient that Kilowott does not cover internet service charges for remote work, and there is no provision for providing company-owned laptops or devices for the job or official tasks. This poses challenges and additional expenses for remote employees....Read More

The culture is great. I mean the best part for me is that there is no office politics. People are friendly. I can't say everyone but many take time to help you out when stuck or answer your endless queries. I took this position as a permanent work-from-home and there has never been an event where we were asked to mandatorily attend.

Dislikes

The working hours are usually flexible in regards to when you clock in and start working. But you are to complete 8.5 hours a day (excluding lunch and other breaks) which is a lot especially if you work honestly and hence it'll be like your entire day is consumed. There are times when we need to meet deadlines and may have worked for 10-11 hours but we can't compensate for them by leaving early when no work. I mean there's an option to apply for partial leave(can leave early or join late twice a month) but you have to apply and give a reason and all and so I end up not using that just because I worked more the previous day....Read More
