The company culture is pretty Bad

Recommend
CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

There is quite a bit of learning

Cons

The Leadership structure is pretty bad with you being expected to work atleast 10 hours a day. Also the senior management is pretty abusive and the company has no appreciation of quality work. Also if you are joining as a fresher the firing is pretty frequent .The package and all is very confusing and we have no clarity over the bonus and stocks

Pros

Nothing, they treat employee as slave

Cons

* Leadership concerns: The CTO (shivaji bose) tends to micromanage and behaves as if he knows everything, often treating employees and even managers poorly. * Weak management: Managers lack leadership and innovation. Instead of contributing technically or architecturally, they focus on highlighting employee mistakes and reporting them upward. Many seem to operate out of fear rather than leadership. * Outdated tech stack: The company uses very old technologies and does not invest in modern tools, including AI, likely due to budget constraints. * Toxic work culture: Some managers reportedly target specific employees, creating mental pressure to push them to resign. * High attrition of good talent: Many skilled employees have left. Those who remain often do not meet expected experience standards, including at managerial levels. * Notice period issues: A strict 3-month notice period, with heavy financial penalties even if you leave a day early. * ESOP concerns: ESOPs are offered but lack proper documentation or transparency. * No open communication: Employees feel unsafe raising concerns, as it may lead to termination. * Sudden terminations: Instances of employees being fired abruptly, even after routine meetings like stand-ups. * No severance support: Employees are let go without severance packages. * Mental stress: The work environment can be mentally exhausting and stressful, as confirmed by multiple former employees. Final Verdict: Strongly not recommended due to toxic culture, poor management practices, and lack of employee support.
