Pros

Offers a decent pay, so if you are ONLY financially motivated then its the right place for a short stint.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the rave reviews here, each of the employee was coerced into writing those (myself, previously being one among them). Despite their facade, its a filth at its core. Run by a group of inexperienced and unprofessional 20 somethings, the company is waiting for an impending doom. Employee bias and favoritism is large at play almost everyday and you get no credit for whatever work, how much ever hard-work you put into it. For interns it'll be heaven due to the unethical '100% hikes' after their probation and they'll be tempted to stay there for long and its only until they realize that once they are out, with their experience nobody will be willing to pay them the same. I have nothing against South Indians, but they prefer South Indians and they make sure that employees from other regions realize they are in the wrong place.

Foradian Technologies Response
11y
Hi There, Though we value your response, there are some points which we would like to disagree. 1. Right place for a short stint if financially motivated - We have employees here who averages to more than 3 years of stint at Foradian. Foradians are not only motivated by the pay that we offer, if that was the case many of our employees would have resigned before last April when the pay was below industry standard. 2. We have not forced any one to write reviews. We have asked everyone to write unbiased reviews which would help prospective candidates to get an insight of the company. There were no instances where a reward or punishment was given based on whether you put reviews in Glassdoor or not 3. From a start up with 6 founders, we are happy that we have grown to a company of 50+ and 6 years in operation. Though we admit that we are less experienced than many of the company founders around and don't hold a PG from IIM's or IIT's, still building a company and running it for 6+ years and 50+ employees is no easy task 4. We don't have interns here. While we can give a list of Ex-Foradians who have experienced from Foradian and started their own venture, have got employment with a higher pay etc. Criticizing for the sake of criticizing won't help anyone 5. Well if you think that Foradian is biased towards South Indian's, we happily ignore this allegation with least respect.

Pros

- The 'C' ranked board members are too much friendly and humble. I have worked in other start ups also but I must say they are the best I have seen to date. Being a technical guy I would vote the CTO being best of them all. - I nice concept for their flagship product "Fedena". I simply loved to work for it. - All of the colleagues are friendly and someone will really feel #foradianfamily once they are part of it. - Opinions are valued by seniors, CTO (At least for dev and QA which I know about), any innovative thinking is always welcome. - Pay scale is quite decent, I won't say Foradian is one of the best paymasters around but their pay scale is quite reasonable. - Have not seen their new office. But the old one was quite impressive. I believe the new one is even better. - Work/Life balance is awesome.

Cons

- Not quite sure if it's still a con, but the software stack they were using for their flagship product Fedena a couple of years back was too back dated. I hope they have upgraded or else you might find yourself being a frog in a well. Other products were quite up to date on the market. - Being a product company, Foradian can actually afford to give their employees a work from home facility (Again, I am not sure if they already have started it). - 8 years is a long time, and the domain Foradian has started working was so innovative and with so fewer competitors I actually expected the company to be more popular by 2017.
