Pros

Just ‘Okay’ to work if you are in a service based company or do not have a job currently!

Cons

• Poor pay as per other major IT software companies • HR team is not very pro-active across south Asia region. No good events etc are organised, no FESTIVALS are ever celebrated. • Non inclusive culture, example: a Bengali team lead will mostly hire all Bengalis in her/his team • Benefits are not as per industry standards • Promotions are a highly political game here. • IMP: Company pushes you to work more with NOT giving a promotion and keeps you working harder in bait of promotions, not a sign of a good culture • Other co-Founder has left the company recently • Company exploits people by hiring even NIT and IIT Masters Post Grad as “Tech Interns” for long 1-2 year durations on cheaper costs and then don’t convert to a full time offer!!!

Pros

If you want a CEO that specializes is tanking the stock firing engineers, getting the company hijacked by private equity, and cheating employees out of their bonuses using magic company performance math, this is the company for you.

Cons

The company’s greatest “pros” are also its greatest “cons”
