A company that cheats candidates with false promises - Senior QA Mech Mocha Employee Review

1. Came over the requirement in glassdoor and was impressed by the reviews and ratings here. Interview process Eventhough scheduled for an hour went for the whole day. Many rounds with same questions being asked over and over again by different interviewers over different rounds. 2. After many more rounds of interview via call, HR issued the offer with very minimum hike but other benefits like shares. HR forced me to reduce my notice period by one month saying they can even buy back the notice period. 3. Two lady HRs one senior and one fresher, kept calling and asking to confirm this over next few days and I talked to my manager and had the notice period cut down. 4. Again HR kept msgng and calling to make sure I am onboard and also sent goodies like a bag, diary, tshirt etc. 5. It was made clear that there won't be any flexibility and employee is supposed to be in office till 7pm atleast, whether or not they complete the work before. 6. I checked about the company with an ex colleague who had interviewed here and he said he was glad he didn't join because they have quite bad work culture and has a practise of revoking offers. I took this for a one time issue probably because HRs seemed over friendly and enthusiastic. There was even a culture round in interview boasting about the unique company culture. 7. Nearing the joining date, I got a call asking to join for a lunch which was planned near my area of residence. Same day night the HR called and informed that they need to revoke the offer because of some funding issue. I was specifically forced by HR to join early stating the same as a reason saying that if I join during the funding time I will vet better value in company stock. Now she called and used the same to revoke my offer. I clearly told her that I don't have any other offer since they forced me to resign immediately and this is unfair. The. I was asked if I could join the same month end to which I agreed. HR called again and sent me a new offer letter with new joining date and said she confirmed the same with CEO. 8. At this point I understood that they were quite pathetic in the work culture and I shouldn't trust them anymore. But since I had no time and no more offers decided to go ahead with this. 9. After few days the CEO called and apologised saying they need to revoke the offer again. Also boasted of her influence with all Bangalore startups and said she can connect me to any of them. I asked her politely to do so, since I was desperate at this point. 10. Over the next few months when I remained jobless and kept contacting them for leads, the HR and CEO showed zero interest in connecting me to any company. They didnot even show the courtesy to check or getback with any compensation. I am currently working in a great work place with double the hike these people offered and with unlimited work from home and vacation options. I thank God for not placing me in the pathetic office Mech Mocha is which just survives on one app that even uses models as click bait. I am glad to not be suffering because of work life imbalance and working under a pathetic HR team that is just all words.
