Pros

The culture was some what good when i joined on 2012 but it is now worse.

Cons

I am agree with all negative review about this company. CTO and other good techies already left from here. Only people who have no knowledge about new technology is working here and at management level its completely mess. Business is going down and now these people are cheating people in order to get money. Its kind of VAS company and they are making money by subscribing user without their knowledge with help of telecom company in bulk. For example airtel share 3 lac number to them and they subscribe all nember with so called free pack and if they will not dial some number then they will be automatically charged. I felt like doing illegal things when i came to know all these things and left as soon as i can. Completely agree with below fact of one of my colleague: 1. Senior Management Attitude & Behavior is unprofessional. Use of abusive words during meetings, accusing tones in emails are common. 2. Deadlines are decided and only when the deadlines are about to be over, the product requirements are shared and discussed for feasibility. Testing time is minimized as developers are hardly left with any time before the launch. 3. The changes are directly pushed to production without any testing. Corner case bugs are often found only in production. Clients have often sent notices due to major bugs. 4. Policies are created / modified whenever the senior management wishes. 5. Products are usually started off with different requirements but later the core requirements are changed which leads to the product being very similar /exactly same as the previous products. New product lack direction and often clear separation of requirements is lacking. 6. Unethical means of charging customers and earning money. Though the VAS industry might be doing the same but in no ways, does it mean that what this company does is ethical. This is done in partnership with the clients. Governance laws (if implemented properly) should kill their profits. You would not feel good about being a part of it. 7. You need to provide weekend support even though the job description may not mention this. 8. At whatever position you are, you would still be doing the same tasks. Your designation is "irrelevant".

Cons

If you are good at office politics, please join Verse - Job becomes secured!!! They provide alcohol/ great food for only few teams at the time of release, they believe that by doing this favour employees will work overtime.

Pros

Good Opportunity for freshers, Good Team members, Good work place,forcing to do work in less time, full pressure, late night workings,

Cons

* Employees are treated as contract labourers * Employees are treated as they have no work other than the office work * Employees are forced to work on nights - working on late nights on few days is fine, but not always * Total 7 days need to work including saturday's and sunday's * No proper time management * Employees has to nod the head blindly or else they will be targetted.

Thanks for your insights. We are listening and do want to work on sorting out any issues you are facing. Please reach out to your HRM as a first step. The intent is to see how work allocation can be sorted which will hopefully lead to sorting out all the other aspects as well.
