Pros

Good starting salary, If you are good at negotiation Good for SharePoint developers You might get to know some awesome talents CEO is approachable

Cons

1. No Work Life balance 2. No proper management 3. Chaotic environment 4. You get a good hike only if you are working directly with clients(Again depends upon your negotiation skill) 5. Different pay scale for employee with same skill set and same years of experience(Difference might be up to 200%) 6. Be ready to switch your profile in every 2 months 7. Your skill set is not a criteria to put you on projects. Only criteria is you are available and the have a project. 8. Long working hours. 9. No Benefits for working late. 10. Recently they have started to cut salary on the basis of late entry, but still no benefits for working late. 12. Within 2-3 days you might be put on a ongoing project with completely different technology and you would be blamed for previous development issues 13. Client is the only God 14. No training for new technologies you have asked to work on. 15. No co-ordination between HR and project-managers. 16. No code reviews. 17. Performance appraisal meetings are formality(if you got good ratings) 18. They always find a way to pay you less. 19. Time estimates decided by upper management for project deliveries are very unfair. 20. You only worth for them if your billing for client is good 21. Awards are just an added burn to injury for employees who works their heart out. 22. Talented people are sidelined 23. Autocratic Managers(Won't name any specific person's name but there are two) who thinks that they own the organisation

Thank you for writing a review. We are always ears for making improvements. However, we would like to highlight a few facts. Our core values are honesty, integrity, mutual respect, happy work culture, think win-win, highest quality, and customers for life. We are continuously expanding our benefits like subsidized accommodation and dinner, health insurance for entire family etc. Payscales and salary hikes among the best We provide Going Extra Mile rewards over and above CTC There are about 22 activities that get rewarded with cash and recognition like training, certifications, reusable code, client appreciation, responding off-hours, new or improved process or tool implementation, candidate referrals, winning new business or epanding excisting business etc. Data on weekend or stretched hours says average week has been 40 hours and weekend work once in six months. We never believed in or implemented hire and fire, e.g., no one was let go due to COVID, in fact, hiring and work surged. We get to work with the biggest brand names on the latest technologies including Cloud, AI, BI, Data Estate, IoT etc. We are process and tools driven in all areas including project delivery, HR, hiring, accounts etc. We use some of the best tools in the world across the life cycle. At the outset we would like to wish you the best for your career and future endeavors! Regards, Team Atidan

Pros

Can learn new things other thank your profile by pushing you into some new roles as per need.

Cons

You will be made working from day one here more than the allotted hours. Work pressure is too much makes to work more than 9 hours or even weekend is common. Be ready to switch your current working technology or area. Some policies will be shared after you join the organization like variable pay. Also if you don't agree to there terms and work culture after joining be ready to get fired. Nearly no activities from HR or org. Most of the reviews are from network team which can miss guide while selecting the organization. *Please make a proper note with HR about your expectation from the organization before you join

Thank you for writing your feedback! We are glad you were able to learn new things at Atidan. We apologize if you had issues. Many feedbacks are around work pressure. We have got numerous reviews praising us for Work-life balance. We strictly plan for 8 hours per day in all our projects and review them thoroughly, only if one does not meet the panned deliverables one may have to stretch, that does not happen often with our people, unlike other IT companies. We always ask candidates about their openness to work on multiple technologies. In fact, it is our strength appreciated by people that they get to work on technologies. We celebrate several festivals with staff throughout the year, however we would work on having more engagements. While we take extra care setting the right expectations for all joiners, we are always looking for ways to improve. We thank you for your feedback and wish you the best in the coming years! Data on weekend or stretched hours says average week has been 40 hours and weekend work once in six months. We are continuously expanding our benefits like subsidized accommodation and dinner, health insurance for the entire family etc. There are about 22 activities that get rewarded with cash and recognition like training, certifications, reusable code, client appreciation, responding off-hours, new or improved process or tool implementation, candidate referrals, winning new business or expanding existing business etc. We would like to emphasize that we get to work with the biggest brand names on the latest technologies including Cloud, AI, BI, Data Estate, IoT, etc. Our core values are honesty, integrity, mutual respect, happy work culture, think win-win, highest quality and customers for life. Payscales and salary hikes among the best. Warm Regards, Team Atidan

Pros

Great development team. You will work with people who are best in the industry when it comes to respective technologies Payment is at par with industry

Cons

>> This company dosent care for employees anymore. Its a body shopping unit,. >> They are now cheating the clients as well. They will take up new projects when no one is available, then they will hamper some existing projects to cater new client. If not for new projects, they will pull you out from project and put you at client side anywhere around Mumbai. >> When you are on client side, they will expect you to work on internal projects. >> They count your worth in pure monetary terms, so forget about adding value, just bring in the billing >> They will never consider that you have a task in hand and will keep adding more to your plate. Everything is Urgent here Questions - Answers - Truth (Do play this fun round with HR and Management) Q: How many people you have? A: We are about 100 strong people T: They are around 30 (including 4 HR and Admin), rest are body shopped to bigger companies Q. Do you expect me to work on technologies I don't know at all A: We try take into account the personal aspirations T: You dont have an option Q: How much / efforts you invest in personal development of employees A. We have very good set of learning material and we arrange MS trainings T: They never give you time for personal development, When they cant deport you out at some client, they might give you time to watch some stupid videos. There was no training happened where they invested some money in a trainer. Q: How many projects you will work on A: We expect people to do multi tasking T: There is no logic or method. Some people work on 6 projects at a time, I might sound crazy, but think about the people who feel its practical. You can be tossed to a new work practically every week. Management does a stupid resource allocation meeting every week and move people from one project to another. You will find no peace no focus. Q. So is there any fun at work? A: We have our events T: Nothing at all. You cant organize anything in office timings. Even taking people out for having ice-cream is not allowed. They have never arranged a party out, a fun event, haft day trip even on a weekend. Q. If I stay here for 5 years, will I get graduity benefits? A. They will not have one T: They would least care about the government rules, they will deny it. If you force, you are in bad books, forget about getting good feedback for any future need from them So will I recommend this company to a friend.. well, I have enough enemies already!

Thank you for your feedback. Please verify the facts, do not spread false information: - We are an honest, values based organization. Have never asked our people to post fake comments - Glad you acknowledge that we have a fantastic team and good pay package - Employees love to work here as we respect our people and do latest technology work, e.g., all mobile platforms, collaboration platforms like SharePoint and Drupal, BI, Windows Azure and recently XBOX One Apps. We are a Microsoft Gold certified partner, the highest level of its kind - We NEVER cheat our clients, vendors, partners or employees, you can call them up and verify - A small percentage of our project-based employees occasionally work at client sites at top Indian and global brands which they are happy and proud of - When we hire an employee for a long term client assignment they are told right at the time of interview, not as a surprise - Large majority of our people work on development projects from our offices, on latest technologies mentioned above - We use best in class tools and methodologies to plan and execute our projects, that’s how we have consistently delivered successfully across the world and attracted top talent - Our people are regularly trained by top trainers in the world, e.g., our team was among the first in the world to be trained on SharePoint 2013, in recent months we trained several people on Sitecore, SharePoint, mobile platforms. This is in addition to the knowledge-share sessions conducted by our internal team. People have been also sent abroad to get trained or attend key technology events - Everyone is encouraged to get latest Microsoft (or relevant) certifications, we sponsor the cost - We celebrate several key festival days like Diwali, Christmas, Independence and Republic day etc. It is true that due to our rapid growth we haven’t had a company picnic or sports event since last year. We are planning to have one soon  - Again, we are an ethical, law abiding organization following all government regulations and employee benefits. We take pride in our people and their capabilities and care for them. We have a healthy, happy work culture which is open, honest, devoid of hierarchies and politics. Flexible timings, work from home, freedom and devoid of micro management. We enjoy among the highest retention rate in the industry. Call up our people and ask!
