Pros

No pros if it costs you your dignity and peace.

Cons

The problem here at zinnia is of culture. Current management thinks that hiring from IITs, NITs will fix. The upper management doesn't trust its engineering managers. In few teams you can witness 2 people handling a team where 1 is for placing the estimations. Every day there is a fire fighting, chaos. Everything is urgent. It's us vs them culture. Tech stack is obsolete. Heavy functional work, staying too long here means sabotaging your career. Keep zinnia as a last option. Not recommended. Do read se2 reviews.

Pros

They drive you hard and you learn a lot. Most of these reviews seem like theyve been listed by people who are afraid to put the time in to learn, or gave in under the pressure.

Cons

Learning curve is a bit high, but through conversations with employees you learn a lot.

Pros

Previous CTO was the only pro. And food they get during events

Cons

Office is full of indians, body shopped here. Lack etiquettes. Directors are all Indians with no respect for their reports. Expectations are in the sky while ground reality hits hard and affects customer deliverables. Directors often scape goat their reports while just delegating everything and expecting just nonsense unrealistic goals. Customers now building their own software to avoid the mess here. Only reason they are surviving is because they were early in the game.
