Pros

Proud to say that this is a purely SriLankan owned & established company facilitating 200 employees to do to earn a living. Friendly co-workers & a family-like culture among same level employees Has a foosball table , coffee machine a nice head office

Cons

1. No work-life balance at all with the impossible deadlines promised by tech leads & top management. 2. Below the average salaries for software engineers for the heavy work load 3. Poor & old technological stack like ExtJS , Yii , Drupal & Etc 4. Very discriminative in employee salaries while a hardworking engineer earns 120 a lesser working QA earns 220 & same level employees earning salaries within a wide range (SE- 120, SSE - 150, ATL - 250, QA - 220 etc) 5. Employee Politics & Favarations - Giving promotions & salary increments only to some portion. Some lesser skilled employees got double promotions & higher salary increments while others having lesser salaries & increments. 6. Nowadays according to the management they have very low cash flows & they are not kind enough to do any welfare for existing employees. 7. Many hard+samrt workers have left the company due to the bad management but still, they are trying to fill those skilled ones with interns + new entries as they can pay a lesser amount of salaries to those employees 8. Very poor HR practises, management practises, software engineering best practises & quality assurance practises 9. Having no empathy towards employees but giving all priority to clients & promising infeasible solutions 10. Lesser skilled architects & managers think only about monetory value

Pros

- Friendly staff, that's about it.

Cons

- Lack of transparency in pay scales, individuals with similar pay title will get paid significantly more (2x) and not do much due to the number of years in the company (seniority). - Extremely micromanaged sprint planning - where you have no breathing rooms in efforts - one small minute detail you overlook and that's it, add another 5 hours to your overtime because you have to somehow cover the sprint work. - Taking time off? No problem, still planned fully in the Sprint. Cover up when you're back. Next Sprint's spillovers are to be completed during extra unpaid time regardless too. - Technical Leadership within teams is severely outdated and incapable. I had trouble respecting the leads due to their incompetence. - Technology/Stacks are extremely outdated; code-bases are extremely outdated and literally spaghetti.
