Pros
- The company went through a tech upgrade (in every way) in the past two years. The tech stack changed to the industry's standards (From Java to Angular and Node.js). Everything moved to the cloud (GCP and AWS), from Sify, Apache servers, and server rooms, which made remote working very simple (A small contribution to that was also due to the introduction of laptops, moving away from age-old desktops). The tech also moved into git from SVN (with plans of deployment through docker). - The technical team is very talented and hardworking.
Cons
- No growth (neither learning-wise nor salary-wise). - Most of the competent tech people have already resigned (I am sure the few left will also be packing their bags in a year or sooner). - Rather than paying the employee's salary on time, most of the company's fund goes into branding, marketing, and leisure. - The company keeps branding itself as a product-based company but functions as a service-based company. - The management has no vision about the company's future and its products. - The sales and client engagement team has too much of a say in the development of any product. Even the product managers and senior product engineers/team lead blindly agree to their decisions without challenging. - Too much micromanagement. - Sometimes the management will make the employees work way past office hours, and even on the weekends without compensating for it. - When a company does a mass layoff, they start from the top, not from the bottom. The company won't be saving pennies by laying off freshers. The same thing goes for salary-deductions. - HR interfere too much in the personal life of employees.
