      Are we slaves?

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      none as such. We are just employed and fetching a small salary so-called majduri.

      Cons

      People are treated like slaves here. No decorum is maintained. We need to ask for everything. Can not go for lunch without taking permission. If we do so, management people call their teammates and ask to come right now because of some urgent work. When so-called employees come, these management people take their own sweet time and will just ask "what did you do today?". That's it!!!! An employee like me left my lunch in between, waited for an hour, just to listen to these words "what did you do today". This is a crazy culture!!!! No freedom to work. If we have little less work for a day, we are asked to do the work which does not belong to us. It's like, we are paying you and our sweeper is not here. As you work for us, just clean the floor for today or for the next few more days until we have other work for you. (Leads are not bothered about utilizing this time and scale our skills during this cool period). No learning opportunity. [Slaves are just meant to work day and night and have no rights to ask for anything. Even if we raise it, we are almost threatened of firing.] We are not your personal property: -- When we are about to leave the office for the day. My manager calls me(almost every day) and asks me to wait as he has something urgent to discuss. Again, the managers will take their own sweet time(as they are busy in gossiping, the most important thing they must be doing). They will come and ask "what did you do today?". For this question, I waited for so long?????? -- My cellphone keeps ringing even after I reach my home. Was the torture done during the office hour and extended office hours was not enough??? -- I am being called on the weekend as well. I don't know when can I sleep peacefully. No mind-space is given to people to think about doing their work more efficiently. People are treated like ponies who can pick the loads without using the mind. Work-life balance is an alien term here. This is how the Edfora culture is. Hopefully, people get rid of these kinds of leeches. I know, I must leave my job here. But, have no options right now. Will search for an option sooner and will throw away my resignation letter on my manager's face.

      Hi, Seems like you really do not like your experience working with us. I do regret the inconvenience caused to you. I believe every relationship is a two-way street and there can be no smoke without a fire somewhere. I am saddened by the fact that you were unable to raises these concerns to us either in person or anonymously within the organisation itself. Nonetheless, you raised concerns on three aspects of our organisation; work culture, autonomy & learning opportunities. Kindly allow me to bring up certain facts about our organisation for persons interested to read the same. We are a start-up organization, each member of our team is a leader & entrepreneur in his or her own right. Deliverable & Deadlines are sacrosanct within the organization and we all chip-in to adhere to the same. Being a flat organization when it comes to hierarchy, each person is a leader/owner of tasks assigned. We have team managers who are more of mentors in play rather than managers. Which encourages learning & autonomy within the system. I would be happy to discuss any concerns you may in person and try to make your stay with us a bit more bearable or maybe convert you into a family member. Regards Mark Nazareth

      Firing firing and firing, don't join this worst workplace, it is worst than 5 - 10 ppl startup

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Coffee machine. Daily 2 times tea will be served at your place. Other than this don't expect any facility here as this one is worst startup to work. All good reviews are posted by content writer or by marketing team.

      Cons

      No job security, almost all good talent (huge ctc) from IIT / IIM / experienced manager got fired recently with just one month of notice period due to cost cutting and they're hiring low budget people for their support maintenance work. They kept every one work all days including Holidays/weekends till April, 18 and CEO told everybody that you'll get reward / nice party in return but almost everybody got laid off in the name of performance / cost, those who are waiting for hike / Yearly variable pay / bonus got nothing due to firing and workplace saved huge money. No work ethics, fired employees want to have their notice period as 90 days or 60 days or even 45 days, but at last after big fight with all top management, director told that we're giving you 30 days for job search even that is too much, they don't even gave remaining 60 days salary or even basic salary to anyone as mentioned in offer letter. If any employee wants to resign he has to serve 90 days notice period seriously. One of the worst feeling is working on Saturdays here, most of time almost all Saturdays and Sunday become working here. Even salary date is 7th of next month. You've to maintain 8.5 hours weekly average else they'll cut your salary or leave balance, Worst work-life balance. CEO of this workplace is responsible for such worst culture, no respect for employees efforts and their timings, no one believes in him as he always speaks big-big thing. Every month CTO goes on leave for one to two weeks as he might be working on some backup plan. You'll find all above points true after joining, surely regret by joining this workplace and most of new joiners left within 1 months. After reading this if you're not convinced, connect with any employee (Search 'Mypat' on Linkedin / facebook), you'll get further horrible details about this workplace.

      No discrimination between men and women, everything is performance based

      Pros

      For me equality is the topmost priority while working in an organization. Here, you will clearly see many examples of employee empowerment within the organization. If you are hardworking and constantly delivering results, you will be recognized, rewarded and motivated to take on more challenging opportunities. It’s all about how you perform on the job and how dedicated you are. As per my experience there is no sort of discrimination between men and women, everything is based on performance.

      Cons

      At certain times, you may be asked to work for a few extra hours depending on the work chores.
