Multiple opportunities to learn. The top management stays in touch with the staff, maintaining a culture of 'everyone knows everyone'.

Dislikes

The top of the organizational structure is the CEO's family tree with his wife, nephew, wife's sisters, and wife's brother-in-law there. OSG seemed to be doing well until April-June 2022, when collective bad decisions led to a situation wherein they didn't have enough to pay staff, vendors, etc. Plus for no good reason, they stoppedthe WFH incentive which further led to employee dissatisfaction.

Learning wise OSG is fine, there are good opportunities to learn, decent salary

Dislikes

Where to start? Starting with salary, which has been pending for a long time, employer will either give false dates, false promises or abscond. PF is also pending from 10 months, no clarity over that also. Zero transparency over where did all profits go, when will all dues be cleared. So many people have EMIs to clear, everybody has to pay rent, and so many commitments but company doesn't care. Junior level employees are more scared than anybody else, but no manager/HR/employer has tried to talk to them, explain the situation. Coming to work, they have unrealistic deadlines, they will promise a non-existing feature to client first and then make people overwork. MD expects you to code bug free features(literally impossible), and also has the audacity to talk about appraisals in the meanwhile, when they haven't paid salary for 2+ months. HR is not a people person, doesn't have any people skills Engineering Managers are good for nothing, all non-technical, (and some biased also), all will just keep pestering for more and more work from those who already work more. Forced many employees to relocate and come to office, and ultimately all had to go back as there was no salary. Employee retention is also zero as no one wants to stay for long and suffer. Do not join this company if you think mental health, humanity, culture, work-life balance, ethics and morals are important because OSG doesn't have any concern/example of these....Read More
