Pros
Nice office location. Great intentions from Founder.
Cons
ARISE: Everything is "According to policy". The policy document is never known, seen, shared or published. (Oh yes, workplace harassment policy is pinned to notice board) If you are from Software Industry/Corporate background, you don't even have to read the review just avoid this company. - Worst HR practices. No HR policies is known to exist in written. HR is the best player. AWAKE: -Every team manager knows the biggest pain point in development delivery. It stays, just live with it. BEWARE: - The employment agreement says, employees can be terminated IMMEDIATELY citing performance reasons. For a senior employee, annual performance review went very well and his efforts were praised to be good. 5 days later, he wants to work from home on unavoidable personal reason. He is fired on phone, asking to handover laptop and leave. REASON cited: Poor Performance. Mitsui won't question it, as they make the employee resign on paper. -They recruit saying Japanese corporate. You can only see monthly board meetings that are inherited from Mitsui becuase directors from Mitsui are part of it. Mitsui did script lot of policies for Smart Auto, but they are always hidden, stored away from everyone. In office, the practices and the show is run by "left for imagination". - Bell Curve reviews (seriously? hardly 40 people. No single team has 10 people in it) - No Integrity: No single person/team runs on any of the timelines. This includes, commitments to customers, product development deadlines, customer support, meeting schedules, employee information, payslips, what not. It all boils down. - 6 day work week. - Worst firings ever (Someone didn't attend meetings fire, someone is on leave or wants to work from home, fire). - Number of people working in office for more than 1year always less than 10. - Place resonates the question, "Why are you still here?"
