      Good Prof growth, Low Org Culture

      Functional consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. Steep Learning Curve for Techies. 2. Opportunity to work on multiple technologies. 3. The Founders/Management is very ambitious and puts forth challenges, which is a positive sign for growth of a company. 4. If you are apple of the eye for founders then compensation will be directly proportional to their likeness. 5. Good exposure to high profile customers along with domestic travel. 6. If you are smart, you can fool the Management and can easily get work from homes and enter the office and leave office anytime of the day. 7. Since everything surrounds around Management's decision, just be sure that you have a great Manager whom you can stick around with and make sure that Manager is equally good at fooling everyone. 8. If you can market your work (whether you do any work or not), market other's work as yours etc. then this is the right place for you. 9. You can shout at the top of your voice and humiliate anyone in your team in front of everyone. 10. This company is a one-time goto place for the best and worst colleagues. 11. Free snacks 12. No defined cubicle so you can always disappear and appear without anyone claiming that you weren't at your place. 13. You get awarded for giving one new idea every quarter. Save your ideas for every quarter. 14. Frequent meetings with Management. Be sure you google whats the trending technology and can be sold to the company's customers. 15. Customer is everything so take your customer to the bar and keep him happy. 16. Don't hesitate to speak here. Everything that you speak is gold coz many of them lack the thoughts you possess. 17. 80% of employees are Telugu and if you are a Brahmin then this place is where you settle down until retirement. 18. Be good at extra curricular activities, and post your selfies at celebrations/festivals on watsapp group. No other group will take your selfies seriously. 19. Copy, Steal and Market is the success mantra.

      Cons

      1. Not a healthy work place for hardworkers. They are treated like donkeys. 2. Can't trust anyone. Anyone is a set of Managers, Founders, Team Members, Management, Operations, HR, Finance etc. Keep things to yourself. 3. If you are not their favorite then let God Save You. 4. There is only one goto person for your concerns (Others are merely just walls) and that's Mr. Anand, CEO. He is a keen listener, will provide great advice. This will be of great help for the future. 5. Women are often judged for what they wear and how they look. 6. There is no dormitory or sick room. If you are sick, they don't care. 7. No team lunches. 8. Everybody peeps into your laptop screen. since there is hardly any place to sit between two people. 9. Very bad tea and coffee machines. No cafeteria. Employees have low dining ettiquettes 10. If you have come from a very professional work place then this company is going to be a big culture shock. Company is low on courtesy, attitude, ethics, empathy, teamwork and high on biasness, showmanship, ego, negative gossip and closed-mindedness. 11. If you come early, nobody cares but if you leave by 6.30pm then all eyes will be on you.

      Thanks for taking time to review. This entire review is based on the personal experience of one Individual and trying to generalise across the Org ,most of the review is centered around issues - Coffee machine, Someone peeping into laptop , Team lunches etc. We do acknowledge that we are startup company and might not have fancy office space & lunches. We strive in the value we are creating with our technology, accolades from the client what we do and providing a great work environment where all of us strive to have Fun & Freedom and work as ONE TEAM. We did conclude our recent anonymous employee survey ( which is shared across entire Org openly with comments provided ) , key Highlights - 1. 97% are satisfied. 1 in 5 are very happy. 2. 85% feel our skills are used well. (Of which, 29% feel it’s used extremely well). This is a strong driver of satisfaction 3.92% feel there is plenty or reasonable freedom in Gramener. This is the strongest driver of satisfaction 4. 98% get along with their colleagues reasonably well Yes...30% feel Physical environment can be improved ( agree with your feedback) and we are working towards the same. I would request other colleagues to let us know feedback and we will work upon on the same rather letting us know after 3 or 4 years of tenure.

      Pros

      Pros? dude, are you kidding?

      Cons

      1. Worst time lines for every project. 2. Favouritism- The people who shouts on the floor, who writes worst code 3, Awards -Every one gets some random award for every quarter. Still I just don't understand the logic behind "safe hands project" award to accountant. 4. Humiliates the developers - When once one project got delayed, DH literally told "make them sit whole night and finish the work"

      Pros

      • A multitude of new domains and technologies to learn about • KEY founders are driven by a vision to add value to the client and are not just bottom line driven. This makes the company sustainable. • KEY founders are people to look up to and learn from. • A % of the workforce in Gramener is very motivated and talented. Amazing to work with.

      Cons

      • The environment is confrontational instead of being collaborative. • Little regard for an individual’s key skill, huge overlap of roles during an actual project. One person filling in multiple roles leading to sub-par quality outputs. (Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid) • Favouritism - the single biggest problem in Gramener. Exists in all companies, but blatantly visible in Gramener at multiple levels. • Low risk-taking ability – Some people are scared of taking risks and doing the unconventional less due to fear of failure more so due to repercussions and change of perception associated with their managers and the senior management. Leads to people being in their safe zone and not stretching beyond and indulging in counterproductive blame game.
