Cron-J Reviews

Thanks for the review, we will address the grievances mentioned. 1 & 2. We have tried to provide opportunities to every developer in terms of experiencing the requirement from the client side. As rightly mentioned there have been times when opportunities have been lost at the cost of business. Even in such cases, we do not believe in firing people every time the company loses the project. The employee clearly sees firing as the solution, the management does not want to damage the profile of an employee over such issues. The employee, instead of waiting to be fired always has the opportunity to resign. 3. Hike and bonus are tied to the performance of the technical team, we follow a policy of performance-based bonus. Non-performers will not be rewarded with hikes and increments. We do not follow a policy of time-bound salary increment. 4. Being a technology-based startup, it is expected of the company to stay ahead in terms of core competencies. This leads to the expectation of a quick grasp of new technologies however no employee has been asked to understand technology in a day. 5. Employees are promised incentives/growth opportunities on the basis of specific milestones. The employees are given freedom to plan and perform the activities without micromanagement. If an employee has faced challenges in this regard it is expected of the employee to report the issue instead of getting frustrated. We provide assurances of quality and on-time delivery of the artefacts to the customers. Sometimes due to the incompetence of certain individuals, these milestones are missed. 6. Since most of the projects in the services have been resource-based the requirement of the project manager is irrational. Only 2 projects of significant size have been fixed bid projects, so the concept of project manager for 2 projects over 6 years does not make a lot of sense. 7, 8 &9: These are concerns which we have faced as a startup and we have tried to ensure that these issues are resolved as smoothly as possible. The behavioural issues of some employees cannot be a generalisation of the company work culture. We have taken appropriate action against employees who have indulged in unprofessional behaviour, politics etc. Response to the advice: We respect your opinion, but we strongly feel that you have misunderstood some of our policies. In 6+ years of our existence, there have been 2-3 cases where we have felt the need to release an employee on grounds of unprofessionalism. We can only suggest the concerned employee discuss the grievances with the management and if things don't work out the employee always has the option to move to a different organization. CronJ's fundamental philosophy is providing opportunities to developers which other similar organizations do not, that's how we have grown. We try and work like a group where every individual is treated with respect and compassion. We appreciate the feedback given and hope we have answered your concerns. All the best!
