Pros

There is NOTHING PRO/GOOD about EntropikTech. If you have to say something, then its just the Fancy MAC That every employee is provided with. INTERNS ARE WORSHIPPED (with Aarti's and Coconut smash)

Cons

Company tagline: Humanizing Experiences with Emotion AI. More like INHUMANELY play with employees Emotions and make you experience the worst of your career here. 1>; There is no PROCESS at all.: Not a single person follows the process including the Management. There is nothing in place. Even if its there, its not followed. Any Professional will find it really hard to manage. Thats one of the Main Reason why the new joinees abscond or Resign with the 1st week. 2>;No VALUE for TIME: There is no value for anyone's time. None of the tasks get done during the Working Hours. Everyone is FORCED to work Post working Hours which can almost extend upto 12AM everyday. Forget about weekends, in case you dont want to work on weekends, then there is a Backlash on the Teams Channel with targeted humiliation. 3>; False Assurance and Expectations: Every new employee is set with false expectations and promises which OnBoarding.(That is their Scheme). Any Bonus or Variables promised during the Offer discussion is invalid once you are onboarded REALITY: Not paid after 1Year 4>; Reporting to: No matter which Team you belong to, you will end up reporting to a Ticket police who has NO Knowledge on the Delivery management nor on any engineering process or methodologies also the root cause for working on weekends, favorable towards QA in Chennai office. 5>; HR's HR team is the worst here. They have no common sense, work experience (though they have 2-3 years exp), no process etc. All they do is LollyGag, Gossip and ignite tiff between employees, Eat and laugh in the discussion rooms ( They dont have actual desk to sit). They hold grudge against each other and taunt them. They have no real knowledge about the policy or people management. In case you ask them regarding any process or policy, they look dumb (you can see it on their face) and tell you "I will get back to you" which they never will. All they do is Laugh like Hyena and you will know its them. They throw themselves on C levels when he visits the Bangalore Office just to get invited to after hours parties and free drinks. 6>;Micro management, and Politics There is a lot of MicroManagement here and employees are targeted solely due to the politics. management even threatens to fire employee on Teams channel. You will be thrown under the bus the bus the first chance they get to point fingers for not finishing the task. Management are like Politicians here and only favor the few party workers they like. Lead engineers are targeted and are asked to forcefully resign due to personal reason/grudge of management.Though they have one WFH per month, HRs and party workers get to take as much WFH as they want. If others request for WFH, they are scrutinized. 7>; NO Learning and Development opportunities. There is no place for L&;D as they stick to a orthodox method (IF its working then that is what we will follow, no need to optimize/improve even if the engineer suggests a better solution). You will not find time to L&;D yourself as you will be working 24/7. You will be treated more like donkeys with Blinders. 8>; Intern Raajy There are more interns in Engineering team than actual employees. (Less pay more work). Interns are treated like senior engineers and are given advanced task within first week. There is no proper KT provided and no proper guidance. interns even sign off on the products features All thanks to the lenience given by the Office Pet. Many Exceptionally good Employees have resigned over the last few months because of politics, process and no value. 9>; No Vision or growth The company has no proper vision or direction as to how the product should be and features are changed on ADHOC basis. you will be scrutinized if you dont implement the Half-Baked idea and also for not able to complete your assigned task) Feature and implementations are added and thrown away as per their wish. If only they stick to a well-planned product, they might get some actual work done. 10>; Miscellaneous No value for employee, experience, Time, Work-Life Balance, policy, process, respect. There are even rumors in Office about the illicit relationship and emails of 'Dummy ran' are the proof. No wonder few cohort employees resigned concomitantly. These 10 Cons are not enough to describe the culture in this company. You better to ward-off from applying here. You can anatomize the above-mentioned points by checking with the employees currently working there. I am sure they will add a few more comments. PS: Even after reading this you decide to start your career here, GOD BLESS YOU.

Thank you for taking your time to write your review on Glassdoor. One of our core values is to communicate openly and transparently irrespective of whether it is good or bad. We have been trying to follow that through team level meetings or company level all hands meetings. You have shared your feedback here and I will do my best to respond with the same mindset. It is unfortunate that you did not have a good experience, we will consider your feedback and take appropriate next steps to improve the entire process. We appreciate the feedback even if it is bad but it also got us thinking on the factual nature of this feedback. While there are always areas to improve but I can't agree with more than 8 points you have mentioned. Some of the feedback you have mentioned are not even applicable to Product Engineering teams where such policies don't even exist. While not all may have the integrity or rigor to deliver consistently, we constantly evaluate everyone on their performance including leads and share the feedback in a candid manner and give enough time of over 9 months in PIP (in this case) to course correct and perform again. We take peer feedback from teams very seriously and based on the peer feedback, we would have to take some decisions that might have impacted your position which was also consistently communicated during multiple discussions. The peer feedback from all teams are sacrosanct irrespective of whether it is for leads or for associates, we treat all of them fair and equal. Unfortunate to see this feedback, but we will ponder and improve accordingly. We wish you a good luck in your future endeavors. We are always open to get actionable feedback, and also available to catch up for a coffee if you want to speak further offline or you can share any additional feedback to hr@entropiktech.com.

Pros

The people are great. Unfortunately, many of my peers in the US did not survive.

Cons

Trying to break into the US market was incredibly difficult, particularly without a proven and tried sales process in place.
