Layoff, Layoff, and Layoff. Every day you will just hear about layoffs here. The moment you enter in the premises, You will hear, people talking about one topic only, that is layoff. I have seen people working hard till last night and very next morning they were asked to leave. As a reason politics and toxicity at the peak here. They fired people at every level from trainee engineer level to CEO. So anyone joining in thinking that layoff will not happen at there level, you are doing a big mistake. OR if you are thinking you are having adependency, and they will not fire you, again its a mistake. If this is the only offer you have, I would suggest to stay in your current organisation. This company has no future roadmap and will ruin your career. They may offer you good initial package to attract you, but its better to earn less, than being in trauma of jobless.

There is nothing good in this company. It appears good when you just join the company. Then the management shows their true colors to you

Dislikes

...able on the internet were given to do self-learning. No investment in training). The company holds my three months' salary without any prior information and then if you request early release they will large penalty amount from you. These companies should be banned from India. They are so cheap that they even asked for laptop bags on LWD. My entire journey has been hell. I know many people are struggling to do their jobs there.

In 2021 Feb, I worked in the Pune office located at SB Road. The infrastructure is not at all upto expectations. The pantry is gross and the good provider is just a local guy with terrible hygiene habits. The building has a a hazardous elevator which you have to use at your own risk. I worked on a desktop with 8GB RAM for almost 1.5-2yrs wherein others had their toys of choice. Never got a VM to work upon which is a necessity in SBSI without which you can't breathe. They use SVN, JSPX, JSP, XML, Spring Web Flow, Maven, Intellij, Tomcat, React, Redux, Java, Jira. There's a huge partial play between Pune and Noida wherein Noida is always favoured since it's the old acquisition and Pune is a new one. I'd say if ur ready to gamble your lattest cutting edge tools, technologies and all ur sharpened skillset for money then u can surely join this org. As a Backend developer, if you work on a new task/enhancement there should always be a new feature branch where a dev. can work with all the freedom he requires but that's not the case here which is surprisingly insane as per the industry standards. There's a single product named Cassiopae which is being built using above mentioned technologies and which is super legacy wherein they have their own custom framework which you cannot modify. The processes followed are not employee/developer friendly. I didn't understand one thing, if you have purchased a licensed of JIRA and if it's highly customisable, inspite of that we have to attach additional Excell Sheets like Time consumed for a Bug(JiRA), code review excell sheet, the required time estimate excell sheet. Almost like a data entry job here which is naive. I won't take names, but the people with huge experiences and dependency are certainly rude, unhelpful and unsupportive at critical & crucial times of work. No provisions for gym, sports or any extra activities for employees welfare. Only few activities wherein you are forced like a kid to participate as if it's a school.
