Gain Solutions Reviews

People come and go very often here, and that already says a lot. It’s not the right place if you want to learn, grow, or have any work-life balance. You’ll feel like every second of your time is being counted. The company only cares about getting tasks done — there is no appreciation or recognition (employee of the month is a meaningless award). It’s basically work, eat, get your salary on the 15th of every month, and repeat. No personal growth, outdated tech, and very poor salary increments. Most of the time, it feels like working inside a pressure cooker. The amusing part is that they even asked employees to write positive reviews on Glassdoor, which is quite unusual. The MD is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. If you’re thinking about joining, please think twice. Don’t trust the positive Glassdoor reviews — most don’t reflect the real experience. Note: It may be acceptable for junior software engineers to gain some initial experience.

Constantly Changing Rules: Even after signing a detailed contract, new policies are frequently introduced without consultation. Unrealistic Break Policy: Only 1 hour is allowed for all personal needs — lunch, prayers, rest, tea, washroom, etc. Management expects everything to be handled within this hour. Unfair Resignation Policy: Employees must give a 2-month notice, but the company can terminate with only 15 days' notice. Inconsistent Workload: Sometimes there's barely any work; other times multiple urgent tasks are thrown at you at the end of the week with tight deadlines. Outdated Equipment: Extremely slow PCs (from 2017) are used for modern development needs. Requests for upgrades are denied. Poor Compensation Structure: Interns are offered extremely low pay (e.g., 5000 BDT), and even mid-level devs receive unfair offers. No proper performance-based increments. Salary Deductions: Any minor deviation from 198 working hours per month results in proportional salary cuts, even if you exceed total hours overall. Bridge Leave System: To take a single extra leave around holidays, employees must compensate with more hours than taken off — 1 day leave = 18 hours of extra work. Work-Life Pressure: Despite completing 9 hours of work, developers are pressured to continue exploring or working after hours. Collaboration Issues: Coordination between frontend, backend, and QA teams is poor, often resulting in misaligned deliverables and last-minute pressure. Prayer & Lunch Delays: Prayer times are unstructured, and lunch often gets delayed until 3–4 PM. Management seems unaware or indifferent to this. Monitoring Washroom Use: There are even policies about using the washroom before and after office hours — employees must strictly follow break times, even at the expense of personal health. Salary Exploitation: Despite working extra hours, no additional pay is provided. On the contrary, even small absences result in deductions. Work with Outdated Tech: Many projects use outdated technology and poorly written code. Suggestions for improvement are often ignored. Toxic Senior Behavior: While most peers are friendly, some senior employees act in an arrogant or dismissive manner.
