Pros
There are only 2 good things but both have a catch : 1. Salary is good ( But they don't give you the full bonus amount and keep as much as 10-15% for 3 year employee retention which is a big trap.) 2. Annual offsite (It seems a luxury but this is a mandatory 4 day trip which includes 24 hours of journey and this is not FREE, it is a part of your CTC unlike other HFTs)
Cons
1. Work is not good. Code quality is really bad and manual work and monitoring eats all your time. 2. Zero work life balance. You have to be available 24 hours (specially in current covid situation the company expects you to pick up the call in one ring at 4 am) 3. Company culture and management is not good. 4. Salary structure is a trap. Even the "complementary food" claimed in the offer letter is not free. 5. Notice period as large as 6 months. 6. No bonus paid if you leave the company after working for 11 months. The bonus is discretionary and if the company knows that you won't be staying in the firm, they might decide not to give you anything. 7. It is difficult to leave the company and they make sure you don't join a HFT. 8. Blame game culture - For any major issue, there is a chain of blames and finally the lowest in the chain is blamed and that person is made to compromise with the bonus citing carelessness. This isn't always true but happens in case of major issues, which by the way, are not rare at Qaudeye.
