Pros

Enjoyed Table Tennis with colleagues after work, but they removed it now. Be a millionaire with ESOPS according to them.

Cons

• Strict timings : Be 2-5min late in office, get a warning slack message from manager • Holiday Compensation : You must compensate your asked holidays by working till midnight or working on saturday sunday • Invest yourself fully to intervue : You are meant to work day and night for intervue. • Unrealistic expectations : You are expected to work on bugs after 8PM. Since you worked on features in the day time 10AM-8PM and both are equally important to them. • No off on public holidays : You must ask for permission to take off on public holidays. They can deny (even if you are not working on something important) because it affects their engineering culture • No process : No Jira, Direct work • Deadline compensation : You are asked for deadlines, then they cut off some days from it. You are now supposed to complete that within time. If you don’t, well its your mistake, so compensate by working till next day morning and saturday sunday. • Only permitted late reason : You must only be late if you are working till midnight or till morning.

Pros

Great opportunity when it comes to learning and growing! The team is extremely supportive and they help in every way possible.

Cons

1 day-off every week is less, although startups need people everyday since the work load is aggressive at times.

Pros

There is nothing good about the company, treats their employees like horses for horse race.

Cons

As an Intern its my duty to be able to learn and then complete tasks accordingly, but it seems that in this company your internship duration is for 45 days and then you have to start working as a full time employee for the minimum wage that you are getting, while the full timers are doing the same tasks for a way higher wage rate. Another thing in the JD, there is no clear explanation as to what the company wants the employees to do. Hence there is not visible explanation as to why I have to do some target based thing. Even if I complete those tasks there are no extra benefits or incentive that I will be receiving for that. The Indian Labor Code states that an employee should not be working more than 48 hours a week without overtime pay, here the company general hours are 9hrs a day for 6 days a week which comes down to 56hrs weekly. Here that is also not followed, let alone overtime pay almost everyday you have to work overtime to complete your targets which aggregates to almost 58-60hrs weekly. Generally every company have to follow a set of holiday list which includes national holidays, regional holidays and personal employee holidays. Here the employees are expected to work though all the national holidays including the start and end of the year too. Now coming to the recruitment part, the company says it still a startup but the scale at which the company is working, it is not something a startup can do. The main thing is they have hired more than 50 interns within the company across all department, and they seem to be hiring till now. The company runs on interns and there is no chance of getting a full time employment from a herd of interns.
