A circus worth visiting for few months when you're planning for a job change. Fill that gap to enjoy and learn politics.
Pros
Just don't get stuck here. So I was super excited when I heard that Mike(the owner) is visiting India office in January. The excitement was all about experiencing a totally different side of meditab. When Mike is here it's gonna be a freak show. Laziest people are going to run here and there, turning into the most productive people mother nature has ever witnessed. The floor is going to turn into an open monkey show. There's going to be a competition about who can lick the souls of Mike's shoes better than the rival and make it shine brighter. One of the best things about the Meditab team leaders group is - it never fails to amaze me. When Mike was leaving the office for USA, his shoes were so clean that I saw the reflection of check in/out machine on them. Anyway, I prepared some guidelines to help you navigate through office if you're seeking help for a particular type of work. Don't hesitate to post your own review and mention the updates am gonna miss out here. Btw, following points require a little amount of working brain. 1. If it's an Indian festival and you feel like we must be celebrating it in office, rush to the HR Cabin. These great guys are going to right away shoot an email about celebration and the dress code. After that there will be emails which will keep you reminding about the celebration they didn't even remember about few hours back. Condition- as you guessed, Mike has to be around to make it happen. Another thing, for some weird reason being Republic is more important for them than being independent or falling on any other important date in Indian calendar. Strange. 2. If you want to learn the art of doing nothing yet making more money than most people by using hand gestures at regular intervals like you're explaining a very vital subject with an facial expression which will convince the viewer to believe that you are the most productive guy on the floor, then straight head out for automation department. You will also learn that how to speak fluently in a meeting even though you have no idea about the depth of the subject or the technicalities of what's being discussed. Condition- none, it's an 8 hours a day show running throughout the year with hours stretching to 12-13 hours when Mike is around. 3. If you're hosting a party and need to distribute the invitation cards, then quickcap will come to rescue. From arrangements of cards to sticking name tags to distribution, everything will be managed like a charm. What's more ? The job of Ensuring that every individual attends the party, will also be done without you knowing about it. Still not convinced? The major part of saliva on Mike's shoes comes from here itself. Now you must believe how efficiently this job will be done. Also, you will learn here how to boost up the Glassdoor ratings. Condition- the host has to be in strong relationships with the director of the company. Mike being around is going to make it smoother. 4. Power builders- now what to say when destiny has already brought you to such an ancient technology. But still worth mentioning for that competition part mentioned earlier and for the following suggestion - playing with your names and putting extra A's for prefixes is not going to help. This was a disastrous mistake made some 25 years back which cannot be undone. Stop struggling. Condition- irregular patterns of productivity boost. 5. Now finally my recent favorite. The android group. These people have won the whole round. While quickcap was busy arranging cards, they developed an working app for the celebration. Seriously? I was in mental trauma for almost 5 minutes after seeing the link in email. This email introduced me to a whole new level of shamelessness. You will be asked for FSD's, documentations, process etc if you're proposing a good application/software but this app got clearance from all of these formalities and was up and running and published overnight. I salute to their awesomeness. condition for best performance- this was first public appearance, so am not sure. The probable causes can be the increment time and presence of Mike Patel. 6. Dosepack- so this name gave you tickles and that chilling sensation down your spine? but sorry. You have gained much attention in recent months and I believe that Meditab deserves its part of fame equally. So am going to spare Dosepack. Anyway I will need to write a whole book on Dosepack if I tried to comment. But don't be disappointed. You're in a trash way beyond comprehension and am not in a mood to mention all of that.
Cons
1. Politics. Politics. Politics. 2. At the start of the month when you need to pay all the bills, you will keep waiting for that irregular text message mentioning that salary has been credited. It might come like a miracle at any time but not when you most need it. Increment cycle is a joke here. The only people who can raise questions, the respectable managers, won't ask about it because they're already at a saturation point where they cannot open their mouths for extra money. Who cares about the end level programmers or QAs here anyway?
