Pros

- Salary is paid on time - Fresh and healthy food is served, even three times in some cases - Fair hiring policies - Exciting and friendly workplace environment - Growth rate is much higher than competitors, but you’ll have to have fight for it (not an actual fist fight😂) - Events and team building activities are organized on a regular basis

Cons

- Micromanagement from CEO - The whole management; starting from CEO, CTO, COO and HOD PMO are all pathological liars, their statements can never be trusted even in written form - They lie, not only to the employees but to their clients as well, the CTO hides the actual progress of the project in client calls - CTO is an incompetent individual for the job at hand, he listens to the other person but never truly understands what they are talking about and would react by completely changing the topic or making fun of the person, something that you least expect from a CTO of a company - Most of the times, the CTO does not even know the tasks they are assigning to other resources - Very unfair leave application policies, that the company is not able to finalize even after 3-4 years of being operational - Everything the management does for employee’s betterment is basically a social media gimmick and is promoted to the extent that employees are asked/encouraged to repost posts from the company’s profile on their personal social media profiles - Pathetic retention policies, no one in the management is mature or experienced enough to work WITH an employee to retain them and HR never works as a mediator between the employees and owners rather HR reps are merely typists in such meetings - CEO is too vested in company’s social image rather than what’s actually been going on in the company - Employees are not given the respect they deserve by the management and are treated or assumed to be kids

Pros

A few team members were supportive and respectful.

Cons

The job description was misleading. I was hired as a Senior Full Stack Developer (MERN stack), but soon after joining, I was assigned Web3 and Blockchain tasks — technologies that were never mentioned during the hiring process. No onboarding or technical guidance was provided. I was pressured to learn an entirely new technology in just a few days, which is unrealistic and unprofessional. The company does not have proper performance tracking or task management tools, yet still issues performance warnings without clear, measurable standards. I was provided with a damaged laptop that severely affected my productivity. Despite multiple requests, the issue was never resolved. The overall work culture is toxic. The CEO often makes inappropriate jokes about employees during meetings, including personal matters such as family or pregnancy, which creates an uncomfortable and disrespectful environment. Such comments have no place in a professional setting. Leadership fails to take accountability for poor planning and instead blames employees for issues stemming from mismanagement.

Pros

Good salary, chance to work on latest technologies but no time to learn best practices or PROs and CONs because of high burden.

Cons

1. Unrelatistic deadlines and decisions are made through Chatgpt. 2. Late sittings are a norm, the office timing is 9am to 6pm but employees sit till 9pm on daily basis and every other day employees leave like 3 or 4 am in the morning and then joining back at 9am. 3. Layoffs are very common, if you are hired for a client and management fail to secure the project then they will lay you off without any advance notice. 4. The office environment is extremely dull and boring which highly demotivates (personal opinion). 5. No company culture or work ethics. 6. Most of the employees are their own family members or relatives resulting in gossips and office politics.
