Pros

- Food that includes lunch and dinner, Medical Benefits, E Health card, fixed performance based variable salary. But now they have changed it, you won't be getting everything time and not that fixed percent. It'll depend on performance. - Welcoming colleagues, chill environment. - You can finally watch those shows on the "List" while working from home. - There isn't processes to follow so expect a lot of free time.

Cons

(Most of cons here are for those that know how industry should work. If you are fresher, I dont recommend you working here. Because you'll come out with no skill at your disposal.) Short Story: No refreshment, events, no LinkedIn page that appreciates & highlights employees, Developement process are worse, no industry standards to follow in codebase. No guidance & mentorship given to freshers. There is n't xiQ's own HR. They rely on i2c which makes it tedious to communicate. No way to let your concerns be heard. -- Only way to let your conerns be heard is talk it through to your CTO. But all you will ever get is "I am busy, will discuss later." And that later will Never come. There are no defined processes for code reviews, bug fixing, feature addition, etc. They don't follow industry's best practices. Recently they refactored the code in the name of just introducing comments, doc-string and DRY principle. Which only made the codebase EVEN WORSE. Now there are legendary and viscious bugs in those enchanted modules and I'm sure you wouldn't want to wake them up. Thing is you'll be scared to fix something. There is not a single process (apart from an outdated document) to understand the domain. Its guerilla style boyses & girls, you're working on prod DB DIRECT. Majority about 95% data belongs to testing and belongs to us - the developers. There's no career growth planned out for you.

Pros

Great team with dedicated individuals who allow you to learn what works best with a positive environment based around teamwork

Cons

Leadership flips between overbearing and micromanaging to praising and trustworthy, yet absent. Has been a change recently - yet to see how well that works
