I've experienced a blend of innovation, collaboration and growth at Kilowott, got the freedom and time to learn and understand from my managers and also good breathing room to make mistakes with which I've improved my work and have become very quick and efficient with it. Excellent HR team who listen to suggestions and opinions with an open mind.
Some employees try to micromanage you so, make sure you have your boundries within and outside the workplace. The work hours are 8 and a half hours which is not according to industry standards.

Office timing and enough leaves
Appraisals take 4 months to process. Hierarchial communication is at its worst. Just a simple request can take 5-6 months to process and by the time it comes to any conclusion, employess are already out.. Randomly putting employees on PIP. Over burdening employees with different industry tasks and not giving enough increment as per industry standards.

What i only liked about the company was the hr team. They were very sweet especially olenya.
There's lot of things i like mentioning here. 1. I was into the digital marketing team of the company and before entering into this company i had always been into small scale industries. Hence, I was unknown about how large scale industries have their digital flow and these people criticized me for it and made me feel I'm the dumb one there. 2. They will majorly listen to the one who is already there at the company from long time and make the newbees at fault. 3. The most horrible point here is all the process flow atleast in digital marketing is made quite complicated even though the same thing could have been done easily and effortlessly and in turn they would make you feel dumb if you miss any one of the process. 4. They may even insult you in team meetings because that's what the so called "QA lead" did to me in front of everyone, in turn, me being the point of joke for everyone. 5. Even if you could straight away do the work, they'll have a lot of process through which you have to go through to make that work done. 6. I can proudly say that, because of my skills, I am proudly working in Uplers, one of the well known brands in India who work with clients like Disney, National geographic, HBO channel and many others. I would say even they have process flow but there is a easy way for everything. You don't have to make everything so complicated just because you can make it. 7. Salary is also an issue here. Uplers, where i currently work has given me thrice the expected salary and here in kilowott they said they won't be able to give a hike because I had just a month of experience in my past company. I have been offered a salary at uplers even more than the QA lead here in kilowott. 8. Kilowott guys offered me again but now that I had the worse experience here, I'll think before entering here again....Read More

I appreciate that the working culture at Kilowott is very friendly. Many activities conducted by HR are really commendable. No one here shows senirority up to the Director level. The HR team is always conscious about employee benefits. Everything works in a proper system. There is no politcs like other MNCs. seniors always try theirbest to support juniors in ltheir career growth and benefit also your critical task. There are no strict timings or deductions. There HR team is always ready to help you at every step , whether its your personal or financial issue. Director and senior staff are down to earth , very mature , young, energetic and supportive with a polite nature....Read More
some aspects that could be improved include the absence of transportation reimbursement or cab facilities, limited medical services, and the lack of provision for loans or advances during emergencies. While these benifits are discretionary , their absence can sometimes pose challenges for individuals.

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.
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.

nothing here to like
They terminated full-time female employees during their maternity leave. Appraisals are minimal, with no additional employee benefits. There's excessive work pressure, and work-from-home employees are required to work 8.30 hours daily. Remote employees are often asked to come to the office on short notice, without any accommodation provided.

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.

One of the best thing about Kilowott is the work/office culture. Everyone enjoys doing there work and always helpful if you are in need. They also have permanent work form home job roles and its amazing. There are a lot of technologies to work with and they always put employees preferences on top. Overall a great environment to work in.
Only one thing I would like to see is there should be more benefits for an employee especially if someone is really putting their efforts because in that way the employee will be more enthusiastic towards their work.
Work policy: Some roles have permanent work from home or someone from outside the city has permanent work from home while some have hybrid / work from office from office

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.
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.
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
