Yubi Bangalore / Bengaluru Reviews

Likes

There's nothing much positive to say about working at Yubi. In my case luckily I got decent and helpful teammates. I like that all code repositories are open and anyone can check out any other teams code repository to see their coding practices, ideas etc.

Dislikes

I don't know where to begin to list down the negatives. The work culture is exceptionally toxic. Extremely strict WFO policy where we come to office only to attend meetings with colleagues in another city. They take away earned leaves if you miss to punch in your card for 9 hours. Unrealistic deadlines. There's hardly anytime to maintain code quality and have proper code design and reviews. Manager asks to stretch till 2 AM at night and finish work on multiple days in a sprint only to revert the feature in a week since requirements were not proper Extremely hectic on-calls. Every issue is treated as P0 and expected immediate resolution whether the issue is a feature change or a minor bug doesn't matter. Also on-calls are parallel to your already existing sprint work. Leave policy is terrible. Can't get approvals for leave plans from your manager. And even if on leave , there will be multiple phone calls and messages to resolve tickets and other queries. There are other issues such as only being allowed to select 2 days leaves on all religious/other occasions besides very few other holidays<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Low compensation and next to no hikes/appraisals</mark>. The appraisal cycle is in name only. Most people last year(2023) got 0% hike. And this year(2024) also looks bleak. There are many people doing same work with wildly different compensations. No learning and growth. This is specific to the team I was in. Perhaps in other teams there would be more learning or things to do( although highly doubtful). They use ruby on rails for most projects which may be a put off for some people. Although I didn't mind using RoR. The work mostly involved doing routine/manual work day in and. day out. There was nothing that would increase skills or have any learning growth. Mostly everyday spent here I feel trapped and feel like I am stagnating my skills and potential spending my time here. Some other minor criticism, personally not a big issue. No lunch/snacks/cafeteria. Earlier there was provision but now that is removed. Office is extremely crowded. Since it's strict WFO ,many times I don't get the proper chair and motorbike parking is also impossible since there is very little space inside the building and it becomes full quite quickly. Card punching for attendance is an annoyance....Read More
