The recruitment process in the production department has been less than ideal, leading to a team dynamic that is difficult to work with. Seven individuals were recruited from top companies, with five of them coming from the same organization. Among these five, three were brought on first, and the other two joined later due to recommendations from the initial three. These two hires had worked in contract roles in their previous company, and it seems that they followed each other when called to join this company, creating a somewhat insular group. Unfortunately, the resulting team culture has been far from productive or collaborative. One of the individuals in this group is highly energetic but also extremely aggressive. While he does have good intentions, his inability to communicate effectively and consider others’ feelings creates a tense and uncomfortable environment. His approach is often overpowering, and he tends to dominate conversations, making it difficult for others to engage or voice their opinions. His hyperactive nature, combined with a lack of emotional intelligence, often leads to misunderstandings and conflicts within the team. Another individual is heavily focused on his personal life, particularly a romantic relationship with someone in a different department. While he acts like he cares about work, it’s clear that his priorities lie elsewhere, and this has a negative impact on the team’s cohesion. He is often distracted, and his actions show that his main concern is maintaining his relationship rather than contributing to the team’s success. Furthermore, he tends to play it safe in front of management, avoiding accountability and only taking action when it benefits him personally. His tendency to manipulate situations to his advantage is frustrating for colleagues who want a more genuine and transparent approach to teamwork. The third member of this group is mostly disengaged from his responsibilities. His behavior suggests that he is more interested in personal indulgences—like partying and socializing—than in his professional commitments. His lack of motivation and focus on work-related tasks has created concerns among other team members, as he seems disconnected from the core objectives of the department. His priorities are clearly not aligned with the team's goals, and this lack of commitment makes it difficult to rely on him for important tasks or to trust that he will contribute meaningfully to the team's success. Among the two later hires, one individual was initially very innocent and eager to fit in. However, he quickly became influenced by the group dynamic and, unfortunately, was let go due to performance or cultural fit issues. The other new hire, however, is a much more concerning case. This individual is skilled at seeking favor with management, often through excessive flattery and agreeing with whatever the leadership says. However, his actions outside of work, particularly in his personal life, raise red flags. Despite already having a girlfriend, he has shown interest in pursuing romantic relationships with other female colleagues, which is both unprofessional and disrespectful. His behavior is manipulative, and he has caused discomfort among other employees due to his disregard for boundaries. Additionally, there's another individual for two years who initially presents himself as friendly and approachable, always sporting a pleasant smile. However, his true intentions have become clear over time. He has been involved in undermining his own manager, spreading misinformation, and trying to position himself for career advancement at the expense of others. This kind of behavior contributes to a toxic culture within the team, where people feel the need to compete for personal gain rather than work together for the team’s success. His actions have led to a significant lack of trust among team members, making it difficult to foster a supportive or collaborative work environment. Overall, the work culture within the production, quality, and engineering departments has been affected by these negative behaviors. There is a lack of professionalism, transparency, and teamwork, which creates a frustrating and often toxic atmosphere. It feels as though many individuals are more focused on personal agendas rather than contributing to the success of the team or the company as a whole. If you are considering joining these departments, I would strongly advise caution, as navigating these interpersonal challenges could be draining, and it may hinder your ability to grow professionally. The team environment needs significant improvement in terms of communication, accountability, and professionalism....Read More

It's a good place to work. Management and my colleagues are smart and intelligent. Minimalist strongly believes in values of Customer First and being Transparent. As a CSE, it gives me a lot of clarity and allows me to help our customers better. Work is not micro-managed and people are not pushed to meet their daily / weekly targets. In fact there are no number based targets :)

When I go to the office every day, it is because I want to. I have never forced myself. The environment and the people work collaboratively. Also, each and every department is very helpful if you need assistance. The no1 thing is also the behavior of the people around me, it is always uplifting and graceful.

The plant is very well bilt and the company follows high quality standards. I get to work on products & formulations that are otherwise not accesible in other organisations. Projects are openly disscused and everyone's opinion is taken which makes you feel good.

Fast growing company with strong presence in India and outside India. The brand is well known and respected and whenever I tell my friends I work at Minimalist, they are in awe :) Learnings opportunities are exponentially high given how fast the company is expanding globally. I'm proud to be a part of this company.
There are 2 different offices in same city, which is a bummer. I'm waiting for new office where all the teams can work together

"I've been with Uprising Science Pvt Ltd [Minimalist] for 2yr 3mo and have been consistently impressed with the overall work environment. One of the standout aspects is definitely the salary structure. It's competitive and transparent, and I feel fairly compensated for my contributions. The benefits package also adds significant value. Beyond the compensation, the work-life balance here is excellent. The working hours are reasonable, allowing for a healthy personal life, and the workload is manageable. I've never felt overwhelmed or pressured to work excessive hours. This creates a positive and sustainable work environment. The company fosters a supportive culture, and I appreciate the emphasis on employee well-being. I feel valued and respected, and I'm grateful to be part of such a well-managed organization. If you're looking for a company that prioritizes both fair compensation and a healthy work-life balance, Uprising Science Pvt Ltd [Minimalist] is definitely worth considering."...Read More
Unfortunately, it was largely negative. The company culture was a significant issue. There was a palpable lack of communication and collaboration between departments, and a general sense of unease permeated the workplace. Management seemed distant and unresponsive to employee concerns. I frequently witnessed favoritism and a lack oftransparency in decision-making, which created a toxic and demotivating environment. Regarding career progression, I found both the increment and promotion processes to be deeply flawed. Increments were minimal and often felt arbitrary, and opportunities for promotion were scarce. There was no clear path for advancement, and hard work and dedication were rarely recognized or rewarded. Job security was another major concern. Restructuring and layoffs seemed to be a constant threat, creating a climate of anxiety and uncertainty. There was a distinct lack of long-term planning, and employees were treated as expendable resources. Finally, I found that Uprising science pvt ltd[Minimalist] offered virtually no opportunities for skill development. Training and development programs were nonexistent, and there was little to no support for employees who wanted to expand their knowledge or acquire new skills. I felt stagnant in my role and left feeling that my professional growth had been severely hampered. Overall, my experience at Uprising science pvt ltd [Minimalist] was extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking a positive and supportive work environment, career growth, or job security....Read More

Flexible & supportive culture. Everyone wants to solve the problem at hand and innovative. Lot of youngsters who come from good colleges and are very smart & dynamic. You can push boundaries and do wonderful things.
While the company is working on adopting tools & technologies to automate systems. The progress on that front is a little slow.

Communication gap between own departments and other departments, which can lead to confusion and delays in project timelines. Development scope is very less. Process gap. Team is not familiar with the latest market trends and the processes that should be followed for the development.
