Pros

i learnt MS Excel (on my own and I could've learnt it otherwise also).

Cons

I spent some nightmarish days in this company run by 2 employees, with no fixed office location. A company name plate in a posh location in SoBo (South Bombay) to fool potential employees and clients! the company doesn't have the wherewithal to hire and nurture a permanent and loyal work force and hence depends on college interns to get its work done. Interns beware! you will be made to work without any kind of compensation, the company will also ask you to fetch data for its use from your college's subscribed databases like ebsco..this is so, because the company can't afford to buy these data of its own money. By the way, after the business center in SoBo shuts down, you will be asked to sit and work in CCD (Cafe Coffee Day), guess why? for the freebies! You can sit and work in CCD without ordering any food and also access their Wi-Fi, all for free! If you are going to an interview with this company, you will be told by the Director cum Marketing guy that the company's clients are top notch FMCG companies and Fortune 500 (Barf! :P) companies. For the love of God, kindly ask the Director what is the quantum of project/ project size which they get from these big companies. They will tell you, 'we operate from different locations in Mumbai', which will make you think that they have numerous branches in Mumbai but actually they are just talking of their leased facility of a business center. In Mumbai (probably pan India) they have just 2 employees making the whole company run (read: limp). The company has no fixed working hours, sometimes even interns are asked to work till late at night and even on Sundays. Nearby buildings of banks and parks serve as cafeteria for this company. The work is undefined. The management doesn't know what is going on where, most of the time. All in all, the only thing I'm thankful to this company for is, it made me realize that i can bear the worst possible work environment and come out of it perfectly sane and still dare to think of having a career in future. Thanks a lot to Glassdoor for this cathartic feeling and also because i know that it will help a lot of interns and job seekers in the future, to keep away from this company. I had myself looked for a review on this site before joining Enterpriseforce, but found none. i wish someone had shared their experience on this site, it would've saved a lot of people's time.

Dear Former Employee, We identify with the title of the review as much as you. Though we don’t deny that in the early days the company had a transition period, to find a really good workspace. The company plate is our identity, so we can’t afford to not put it up where we are working. We have a culture of learning, and that means we have to hire and nurture a workforce but their staying permanently certainly depends on our ‘karma’ as a team. We are an “analytics company”, therefore we have high regards for data and its value, similarly for its safety. This is indeed a misunderstanding and we would like you to communicate this to our HR department so we could avoid such miscommunication in the future. You can certainly ask about the quantum of project and project size, we are open to communication. Here is our video link in which our Fortune 500 clients testify for us https://youtu.be/i4c-nCAws-us. Our work location and work hours are fixed and we do mention about flexible work timings at the beginning of job interviews. This is just to give you a gist of the startup culture where sometimes, we make time, to get things done on time. We thank you that you found some value from us.

Pros

I have been working at the company for over 1.5 years now and my experience so far has been good. Good work and good team: The Company has an impressive client base and if you can prove your capability (irrespective of your years of experience) you get a chance to work on client projects which is a very rigorous and an enriching experience which you may not get in bigger companies at an early stage in your career. Strong emphasis on performance- The Company gives a lot of importance on performance and makes sure those who perform are rewarded generously. There are spot awards and other recognition given to encourage innovative ideas and thinking. You also get a chance and exposure to other functions if you are keen to learn so helps you get a diverse experience Freedom to think and implement- If you have an idea which is useful, the company gives you freedom to work on it and implement it and you’re also rewarded if you've done a good job Open communication Good place for self starters

Cons

The company is in a fast growth stage so there may be times when you have to work really hard. There is need for more structure

Dear Former Employee, We are happy that you learned team-work with us, also for writing a point wise detailed analysis where you felt we have lacked. We are providing you with a detailed list of our own to let you know our perspective. Our HR department would love to hear from you and take your feedback objectively. 1. We have a fixed office space at a permanent location in Mumbai. 2. We are aligned towards a single mission i.e. building stronger supply chains. 3. This post is put up by an experienced HR Head of a well organised HR Department. 4. We give our employees recognition for the work they do in terms of bonuses and dinner parties. 5. We do not force our employees to do anything, besides a friendly “pass me that dosa” in the lunch. 6. We have high ethical values, our clients testify for us. 7. We pay as per the industry standards 8. We are aware of the work that the company is doing and we are helping in building that vision. 9. We don’t hire employees for training them, we are a startup so we only hire people who are talented and know what they are doing. 10. I haven’t received a call late at night, it might have been a one time thing for you, we do expect our employees to be flexible but not to the point of breach of personal space. 11. We work 6 days a week. On Sundays, we even choose to hang out together to a club, but that choice isn’t forced on us. 12. Compensatory leave policy is there and we understand when somebody needs rest. 13. We are particular about time, so a scheme like this would have been implemented to inculcate the feeling of discipline but it is not in place anymore. 14. We are learning at a fast paced environment sometimes even we find it difficult to keep up. 15. There isn’t “Instant Transparency” but slowly everything becomes clear. ‘Instant Transparency’ is not a luxury in the business of Data Science especially when you are inexperienced to handle it and it is confidential Data of worth millions of dollars. 16. We have to wear multiple hats in a startup, and having a unique business model means a lot of scope for experimentation. We do have a common objective. 17. We have an open cafeteria in the office building. 18. We have mentioned about the training above. 19. We have a web presence, a blog, social media presence and everywhere we have written what we do. We can understand that you might have experienced something which probably happened because of the company being in transition but we have tried our best to see to it that the problems were sorted and we now provide an amazing cultural experience to anyone who is a part of our small Enterpriseforce community.
