Pros

- Salary comes on time - There are a few online/offline events now and then - Tiny bonuses like chocolates on diwali, tshirt for event - Basic equipments for work station setup - Fully remote work after COVID pandemic

Cons

- Very penny-pinching management - don't expect a top-notch treatment and work style - The management has gotten stricter over time, and employees are made to work more and till late hours - Bonus is not shared relatively - when the client shares a bonus, the employees get only a part of it even though it entirely is the employee's work benefit - Cheap work equipment is sent instead of quality, only for a few people who work for a particular client; they have given Macbooks, sometimes even renting cheap Macbooks. - Employees are kept on a leash and made to work for a certain amount of fixed hours daily -- Desktime is used to track if employees are working or not, desk time, which is buggy, sometimes does not report properly, and employees are questioned by management that they have skipped work - No proper leave policy; it's auto-approved for only 20 paid leaves per year, but management asks employees to justify their leaves. - No vacation policy - No tech stack preference for IT employees - they have to work on any project that comes in and on different tech stack projects without best practices. - Coerced and pressured labour project delivery is celebrated when employees work themselves off working nights and weekends delivering projects in a short amount of time. The management boasts about this, and all the employees only get is a thank you and are put into the next pressure cooker project. - The appraisal process is always delayed, and employees need a proper appraisal to justify their proposed salary to every single paise. Even if you get an appraisal, they put more responsibilities on you and make you work more than you did before - Company calls seem so fake, and everyone joins to show face - Employees are made to do things they do not want to do; if you're hired for PHP, you might not get php work - some people have left the company because of this. More examples of this are HRs are made to do TA's work and TA's are made to do sales work for long hours and sometimes even on weekends - Employees are fired within a short period without proper notice in case of underperformance. There is a PIP process, but I've seen few people let go without it. - Company accountants are useless and don't help employees with their taxes when they need - Company HRs are helpless and can't guarantee an employee's happiness as the management won't listen to HR - The interview process has become too stringent—many qualified people who needed jobs applied here but still haven't gotten one.
