Pros

Do stay away & save your career. I don't want to stress on this point more.

Cons

I can write thesis & bible on what is not right with this company. 1.Bad and very mediocre and egoistic management what manager says you should do without a question. He loves you else NO 2. There's noone who has idea on what needs to be done. Simply dragging people & playing with starters career. CRAZY 3.They consider anyone as "RESOURCE" that can be switched out. 4. So unless u r robot stay away. 5. No road map no clear thought through plan 6. Worst place to work with in Chennai 7. Resources are like clothes for them, wears one new every new day. 8. Please save your careers, pls stay away. 9. Man with money but has no business ideas, seriously. 10. HR is joke & dev team is good but has no idea what to do how to do? 11. Keep hiring & firing developers. Stay away to save your career.

Thank you for your review - and sorry to hear you didn't enjoy working with us. We can assure you that as an HR team we do care about our employees and do not consider them as mere resources. The fact that you got this impression though during your time here is a major red flag for us to have some conversations with management team and address any policies and practices that could be providing this impression to employees. First off, we have reminded local management to share our high-level roadmaps with all employees early during their time with us so they can see where and how they fit in - and why their work is so valuable to our team's efforts! We are also working to improve our Performance Management Programming so that when employees are struggling in the workplace, they have a clearer idea on where to go in order to continue to thrive at AugRay. Your feedback was really helpful for us to read, so thanks again for taking the time to write this out. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at hr@augray.com if you'd like to share more details.

Pros

you get your salary on time

Cons

there's a long list to this and if you really care about your career graph, pls don't ignore these - It's a totally CEO led company. even the smallest of decisions are micro managed by him ( ofcourse with the insights received by some of his loyal flattering employees) - your experience doesn't count. its a no brainer job. Do what you are told to do and just keep agreeing with the management to be in their good books - they hire and fire at the drop of a hat. most people last here for few months only - there is no clear vision for the products they build. The objective changes from time to time depending on the funds they may have. - there is zero marketing efforts to sell their product. they are just trying to dupe clients and survive with that money.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're sorry that you didn't have a great experience when you worked with us! Our leadership team, starting with our CEO, takes the time to review these responses regularly so this feedback will be reviewed. Our management team aims to guide employees in a way where they still feel empowered to own their work and have their voices heard. As such, this feedback is very disstressing to hear. We will involve the managers and brainstorm ways that we can ensure all employees feel more ownership of their work - and see how it relates back to business outcomes. We're also concerned that you note that there is a lot of turnover as that doesn't align with our company's people mission or our HR records. We are focused on hiring the best talent in the industry and providing all the support they need to thrive here long term! Lastly, in terms of our product and direction, our goal is to deliver a world-class augmented reality product and solution to our customers and we take every marketing effort at the right time to advance our product strategically to our target customers so we can keep growing and being a great place to work! If employees have ideas for ways we can improve our approach from a product or marketing standpoint, we're very receptive to hearing those! Feel free to get in touch about your take there or with any more specific feedback by writing to our HR team at hr@augray.com

Pros

Salary is on time mostly Hardly any pressure if you are a technical staff, based in Chennai office If you are champion at office politics/ Tamil speaking person/harbor no real career ambitions, and can butter people's egos like Dal Makhni,... this is the ideal place for you

Cons

Well a entire thesis can be written on this, but will provide the highlights Have given 1 star as couldn't rate any lower The organisation is basically a scam operating under the name of a "start-up". They use outdated technology and claim to world leaders in XR, whatever that means... the technical team basically sits around in the chennai office enjoying home-cooked meals,having a nice siesta and playing games. There is no marketing team...there are a few people who sometimes write some blogs and stuff... basically zero spend Then the "Great" HR team... they can't more more insensitive to basic human feelings even if they tried.They will bully you to take lower salary, will promise you giant bonuses , will do anything to reject your reimbursements book your flights at 3 am at night and put you up in a hotel in the middle of a slum. Also at the time of your resignation they will try to not pay your severance package or your pending payments. The sales team is a mess, they hardly manage to make one or two sales every year, No I am not joking, the product is so ridiculous it is almost impossible to sell it.Every 6 months they have to hire an entire sales teams as most people just quit out of frustration or are fired at the drop of a hat. In last 3 years, 6 sales teams have been fired or left. The CEO has absolutely no vision or even the remotest idea about technology, he is just a philosopher with basically a huge bag of money.He is just burning crores of rupees a month with literally zero revenue, and he doesn't seem to care. Sole decision maker in the company, nobody else has a voice. Everyone in the top management is his Yes man. There are a few so called "industry experts" who occupy top director level/VP level positions, they literally don't to any work, just there to enjoy the perks and salary till the startup shuts down, when the CEO loses his patience or the bag of gold, which ever lasts longer.

Thanks for leaving this review - and so sorry to hear you had a negative experience working with us. Your outlook on our company and teams is really disappointing to hear. We're sorry you left the company with this perception in mind. We can assure you (and anyone else reading this) that AugRay is far from a "scam company" - we are a hyper-competitve and rapidly growing company in the AR and VR space. We value each of our people and our teams and are working harder to get better all the time. If you have anything specific to share that we can address in HR, please let us know by emailing us at hr@augray.com
