Pine Labs Engineering Manager Reviews

Likes

Still trying hard to figure out what I like about this company,

Dislikes

Headless manager, no WLB, you'd be forced to come at office. Horrible experience. No perks at all. They give lame excuses during appraisal. PIP employee for no reason. Please go for other offer if you love your mental peace.

Likes

Salary part.

Dislikes

Pathetic working environment and work culture. Old folks will not give you any information about the project and products.Since they never documented anything ,so you hardly get any information. They have their nexus ,which doesn't permit newcomers. No meeting atiquttes ,No one joins any meeting untill you will call them personally. Timelines/deadlines are joke here,they gave without any information about works/tasks.So that never meet. Think twice before joining this company. I left this company before completion of my probation there. This is pure lala company,no policy ,no work only politics....Read More

First 6 month is all good for me post that when management change me any many team members are informing only dislikes for this company.

Dislikes

Work environment. Time management. Higher level management not understand lower level management works/how to treat good,how the employees should work. Not much hike less than 5% overall. Hybrid mode. Canteen (only Tea, Coffee, Biscuit & Namkeen) is there. Managers only want my task should be completed by EOD (means they are not checking whether office time is over or not). No Party, No Trip in a quarterly/yearly. Working 6 days a week(SATURDAY) although this is not in company regulations because on website it's showing SATURDAY & SUNDAY holiday but we are doing. Also if anyone are leaving before 2 years from Pinelabs they should submit there PineLabs bag also....Read More

Work is good

Dislikes

Culture is very bad Even after giving your 200 percent your work does not get recognized. Nobody gives credits to juniors. They have new strategy for layoffs called PIP . If employee is in pip and then he resigns manager will come and say you were not in pip it's because of stack ranking we had to put you because of upper managementpressure even though you performed very well and then they match the counter offer too....Read More

1. Increment 2. Incentives 3. Reimbursements 4. Operations 5. Support function

Dislikes

No cons that i can remember. Let me explain 1. Company gives good increment from around 1% to 4%. And if you perform exceptionally well for qualifying a promotion (no set criteria is there though) you can get massive 5% appraisal. 2. There is an incentive for the sale you make. Just, there is a surprising element. You don't know theexact incentive earned on which product. And also, you don't even know when it will be actually credited to your account. And if it is credited to your account, you don't know for which product it is given and which products are left/not given. Our management do this to keep the things exciting. 3. Reimbursements are great. They are so detailed that no body can fool you. And the exciting part is, these will never get approved when you need these the most. There are no worthless concept of "time value of the money" in the company. 4. Operations are so smooth that you will not get any hurdles. Because to get hurdles, one must progress forward. Here nobody knows how the things are done, thus no need to worry about case closures. 5 Support function is so encouraging that one have to push himself to get the things done. There are many people to tell you that how you can accomplish something without a support from any other. Company will make sure to make you realise your potential by helding you responsible for every mishaps. See, when you do something good there are always people to take credit. But when things go southwards, it's the time that then you realise that you are a one man army....Read More

Flexibility. But flexibility here is a two way sword. Senior Leadership will not work with you in inputs, just expect output to come from your individual and your team's hardwork. Full DIY mode of new product/business development.

Dislikes

God forbid, if there is any disruption like Covid or Regulatory issues or Partner issues or Structural issues with any business - Senior Leaders will hang you on the cross [side-line / lay-off / quite firing]. Instead of helping the incumbent address the external issues they will take the easy and dirty way by bring someone new fromoutside to build the business. And they will keep doing it till they find someone who makes it happen....Read More

Flexible working hours, work life balance and culture of the office are good

Politics are there , people are who doing bettering with seniors will get promotions and appresals only. No job security, suddenly they can ask to leave the job at the time of yearly bonus and appresals.
