Pros

Chocolates,Pizzas,Parties,Office Location,Free English class on Grammar ,Vocabulary Test ,GK Test.You'll find good reviews only from the current employees ,now think how much authentic they are...

Cons

There is no work culture.Apart from few exceptions,you will not find a colleague here,everyone has a fake smile on their face.Company gives you chocolates, maggie and what not but management will always remind you about their spending on you .If you are a politician then you will find tough competition here.You'll get to hear loads of things about job prospects,supportive colleagues and many more fairy tales.But in reality you'll not get any support from management and your team members.Here you will find Managers,Dept Heads but whom they manage is a different story altogether(Shhhh! They do not have any team to work under them)Shed off all your humanity and emotions since ,they call it unprofessional attitude."You work,they pay" that's how the relationship is, between the employer and an employee.Life will be miserable if you do not give a nod to their decision or try to put your opinion and views forward.Ingrain this in your mind "Be a machine ,not a human being"once you enter the office premises,else you life will be miserable.People do not have emotion here,they only know how to insult,hurt and embarrass people! Career opportunity is zero, since partiality and politics is always in the air and company is too small to give you promotion.Freedom to work and express yourself is nil.Keep no expectation from anyone in the company.Be ready to do all types of jobs,since there is no specific KRA of a designated person."start suffering,stop living"...Good luck!

Pros

FusionCharts has very good publicity and a decent amount of fluff written on their career adverts - so it was really important for me to decide what are the real things I am looking for at FusionCharts before coming here. And I am quite happy on those grounds as the nature and quality of work matched my expectation. Those are something like: 1. Good quality of work - Depending on your team, you will get to work on core Javascript as well as other languages like Java, Python, Ruby - some teams are more dynamic whereas some teams are very focused on enriching the core offering, but there is always a respect towards knowing the core technology and language rather than talking in terms of frameworks. Work is also more execution-oriented, which I believe is a neutral thing - there is a decent amount of discussion before implementing things, but the focus is more on implementing fast, figuring out the problems and re-iterating on it. There are also some parts of development, which is as good as a separate project in its scope, but often gets done in weeks - which means sometimes it is incomplete in its broader scope, but also you have something decently functional before you know. 2. Visibility of your contributions - Most of you contributions are very much visible in the product functionalities and a good amount of non-core repositories gets open-sourced. All this increases your career value in the long-time. And you know that a lot of people are going to use your product and might even give you their positive/negative feedbacks, so there is always an added responsibility. 3. Above average pay for experienced employees - Not much to talk about this, salary estimates will already give you some idea that it is decently good for the market, but believe me they often bargain very hard on the salary discussion and you'll probably never the get the whole figure you asked for. This is getting worse, if anything. One small good thing is they dont deduct much from the quoted salary as there is no PF contribution - but there are still gratuity, IT and professional tax deductions. 4. Open-minded direct managers - Managers are always open for technical discussions and mostly tech decisions are taken as a team with input from developers. They are very approachable and mostly don't have an atmosphere around them. The executive or upper management are much less approachable though and I have noticed a decent amount of fear(more like mental restriction maybe?) for taking up discussions with them. 5. Only your work matters - so you can have casual dressing and mostly flexible timings. No corporate proxy, internet filtering, anti personal-device policy - allowing you to work as freely as at home. Yes, there is an official 9-hour workday policy but it is not forced upon much and it often feels like you work for that many hours which is necessary to pull things off - unfortunately that leaves off very less time for your personal things in the weekdays.

Cons

1. Ridiculous company policies, going back on verbal words and bonds for freshers - The company has started taking a slow but sure downturn since this year with unimaginably bad policies. Freshers were promised some package after 6 months "training" during hiring, but later the company went back on its words, claiming that they cant respect that promised package as the particular HR person whom they interacted with has left the company and the other management people was unaware of this. But everyone knows this is not even an valid excuse because they put on a poster with the exact some offer during campus hiring and this was the exact same figure as given to last year freshers - even that HR person is still in very good terms with the company. But that's not the worst - they were asked to sign a 2-year bond on the day of joining without any prior information - even for joining interns who are already working alongside full-time employees contributing equally to projects and dont need any training (or will be provided with one, for that matter) at all. This is all a whitewash for some previous-year joinees who left after an year. Being critical of company policies is looked with a negative lens, its always a hush-hush thing. 2. No actual HR is present in some offices for month after the only member left and those roles are sort of taken up by upper management and IT people. Things are as relaxed as it can be in bad ways - official joining papers are given probably after a week on joining and taken back another week later, no personal ID cards are provided for months on stretch after joining, there are not even temporary IDs to accommodate new batch of joinees, salary accounts get opened after few weeks, and you might not be sent any email asking for IT declarations unless you ask for it, no decent onboarding process. 3. Work is mostly good, but there sometimes nudges to complete it in your personal time in weekends or after work. The work-life distinction is sometimes fragile and taken advantage of somewhat as most employees are young. There is sometimes no proper timeline to complete things, but you always know that there is some untold deadline - mostly weekends and you are expected to complete within those unclear timelines. 4. Lack of technical processes and resources - Non-existent developer documentation, measly amount of testcases, mostly manual testing are just a few. As for resources for developer, no good way of spinning up development servers or installing a paid development software or IDE or popular paid development services - nothing at all other than a MAC you get. Not even a personal locker in the office.
