- 2023 they had around 8 sick 8 casual leaves so total 16 leaves a year, plus a "winter shutdown" which is last 10 days of December are completely off, so no work on last 10 days of December
Work from home can be taken as per anybody's need
- in 2024 leave policy, sick n casual leaves are clubbed together, but now, sick/casual leaves are 8, then there are 8 annual leaves, so total 16 leaves a year, they removed "winter shutdown" so you don't have any other leaves except these 16, only annual leaves are carriable to next year.
Now for work from home, you have to take a email based permission from your managers, tagging the he team in cc, that also should be done before your day pf work from home, if it is approved then ok, if it is mot approved, the you are directly done LOP, aldo you can't take 5 days in a row as work from home.
They did dirty to one developer, they gave him more than 10 days of LOP since he didn't get his WFH pre-approved, he quit job in august.
- 2024 April/october appraisal, where really pathetic, no one got more than 10% hike
This decreased employee satisfaction significantly
- the company only has "software developers", no testing team, no devops team, each developer is supposed to work on every stack you can imagine, for example Android developer is working with node n react, ios developer is working on node backend n react, there are many such examples.
- there were tight deadlines of alot of projects, which increased micromanagement, on top of no hike, the company expects all developers to know everything, backend, frontend, testing (unit + automation), even doing client handling. Since the same person is doing multiple people's job, n they are not getting well payed, they are leaving, almost 15 developers left.
13 developers left
- in one case, the client said that "wednesday solutions" is not understanding our roadmap of the product, this was really big client which escalated the issue, the company did typical blame game n blamed it ALL on 2 designers & fired them on same day
They said that due to client complaint that their designs were not good, so they were fired,
But everyone in the team, including the managers n CEO himself had approved the designs before sending it to client and starting the development work, then how is it only the designers fault?
So 2 designers were fired, seeing this other 6 designers also put their paper, the 2 designers put a legal case on the company
- 2 marketing n 1 sales person quit which were directly reporting the CEO, stating toxic management
- 2025 leave policy
Sick/casual leaves are on prorata basis now, meaning you get 2 each quarter, if you take more than 2 in a quarter LOP, that means 8 a year is just a number for paper.
Annual leaves are only 4 per year now.
Another catch: you can only encash 5 annual leaves total at the leaving of the company, that also those annual leaves should be declined.
more rules are added for work from home that the approval has to be taken before 10:30 am, so you have to mail accordingly before the approval, else LOP. Now you can't take 3or more days as work from home.
You can check online on their website, they themselves have mentioned their leaves.
- following this chain of events, even handling the employees become difficult, seeing this 1 newly joined HR abscunded, other 2 HR have put paper. They have put legal court case on the abscuded HR, and the company is fighting with them.
- seeing that people are leaving for one or multiple of these reasons, the CEO started not clearing background verification of resigned employees or not paying them full final money, not giving experience letter n other documents.
Those employees also put legal case on company.
- seeing the number of people reduced ao drastically, the CEO wanted to hire new people, but there are no HRs anymore, so they took a recruiter on contract basis from another company.
- this new recruiter is also not able to hire people since they want a developer who knows all sides of software development, frontend, backend, devops, testing, etc. but the pay given (around 6-8 LPA) is nothing compared to the industry standards. So they are not able to hire new people also.
- even if you are thinking that "payment is low, but job security will be there", no it is not there, they are kicking people left n right
