Pros
1) You will be given leadership and responsibility -irrespective of your age and experience if you do well. 2) Subsidized cab and food rates. 3) Frequent company and team outings.
Cons
1) Too much of work pressure - due to limited team members and strict deadlines. Limited team members to save money for the company and strict deadlines to make the clients happy and you are screwed with hell lot of work. 2) Unstable clients - It is a start up founded 3 years ago and still they do not have strong and stable client base. 3) No Job Security - You are fired at any moment. An employee is recruited whenever a company gets a client with new requirements. Since the client is new, the client gives only a small chunk of work. You must satisfy him all alone because mostly you will be the only team member and the technology you are working will be either new or you will be the first one to work on it in this company. Sometimes the client is not happy or the client is not happy with the billing rates, etc. The client will immediately stop working with you and the company cannot pay you so you are fired immediately, same day or the next day. I have seen instances where employees are fired after two days of their joining. 4) Not employee friendly - you will be always told that you are working in a employee friendly company and the company will always see to satisfy its employees but I have never seen an instance where an employee is satisfied. The employees are just fooled by saying that he is working in a employee friendly company. 4) The Admin, BD and HR department are forced to work for only company benefits and the employees are screwed. 5) No Standard company policies - The company will have policies when you join and will change them the next day without any notice. They will change them according to their benefits. 6) The people in top management are useless and don't have a vision for the future but they will act and talk like Steve Jobs. They will talk, talk and talk but will never provide any solution to your problem. 7) The company strongly believes that they can turn a fresher into an architect in 2 to 3 years without providing any guidance of a true architect. 8) Useless monthly meetings where employees can bring in their concerns but remember whatever you bring forth the MD you tell you this is a small or common problem or the problem does not make sense. MD will talk for hours but will never resolve your problem. At a point of time he becomes the bigger problem.
