Joinees & clients beware! If someone is best at being worst... Its them!
Pros
-- On-time salary. But if you think this is a jaw dropping pro, you probably should first look at the cons and then judge. -- Good & smart colleagues, who are as frustrated with their unfortunate career path as you are being in this company.
Cons
Let's begin, and I will be very honest... -- First, its not a company, its an 'absolute monarchy' - one man rules your every breath when you are at the office - the CEO -- CEO has this creepy habit of eavesdropping at what employees talk to each other and what tabs are open in their computers. He thinks he is the most important person in the world and that everyone only talks about him. -- You can only butter your way up. Forget your ideas, forget your inventiveness. If you can reflect to CEO's dumb ideas and say "Yes Sir" to everything he suggests; you are all set for life (as his minion). He has literally kept a few people just for this purpose and they sit right besides him in the office so that they agree to everything he says and he would feel on the top of the world! -- Company cheats on its clients and that too very badly. They would take loads of upfront payments from clients, do sub-par work or no work at all in the deadline and then CEO would instruct the team to stop all communications with the client no matter how many times he calls or messages. All reviews you see on Clutch.co are positive because they fight with clutch and clients to remove the bad reviews. -- They also have their own top secret review & directory service to lure other development firms to list their companies and these guys here steal their client information from their reviews and use it to get those clients. And its working great! -- Ridiculously money oriented - they wont even serve morning tea because they want to save money. You will get a laugh if you are a coffee girl / guy! And you should really try the evening tea... its full of washing powder and tastes like crap. Try it out if you don't believe me - but you will need to pay for the tea and for breathing in their office space. -- CEO is judgemental and blames people for his shortcomings. I remember a very brilliant guy in marketing who was accused of - get this - "making 3 or more people leave the company by influencing them to join another company" when he had done nothing of that sort. The same marketing guy when left the company was accused of writing multiple bad reviews on glassdoor, when I & many others know that those reviews were written by different people in the company itself because they hate the company & its policies. That guy never wrote a review! -- So after every negative review, there will be a few positive reviews so that the negative reviews go down the list. Guess who writes these fake positive reviews? -- An idiotic bond that would last 18 months + 2 months of notice plus you pay Rs.50000 to company as an FD. So you become a servant, stay a servant and even pay for that! For those unfortunate Engg. / MBA colleges where they have started to campus recruit - please note that their bond won't even be mentioned in their job emails. Stay aware from such companies. -- Immensely poor appraisal - much less than industry standards and not at all related to how you perform. They have a fixed budget for a team - your senior gets Rs.1000 more than you and so on. If you are in the buttering group, you get more. -- Lastly, their accounts team and other upper management will be way over their heads when you talk to them. Accountant is manner-less and would talk very rudely, even with girls. Others managers would just be over smart rather than being humble as leaders. They have less knowledge in their domain than their juniors but they would act like Steve Jobs. And I am just scratching the surface here.
