A personally owned family business mindset with an unsaid 'master and servant' attitude. One has to be at their beck and call 24x7 and do whatever is asked.
Overall a very detrimental place to work at; growth (skills and financials both) and work stress levels. Do not buy into 'India's first robotics with AI'. That's what 's sold prima facie to 1) gain traction with the investors 2) hire cheap by positioning as an unusual opportunity and 3) driving sales to unsuspecting customers. Most of the claims are untrue and quite non existent. You just have to look for customer reviews to find validation, although they keep deleting it.
- Work environment : Very long hours. Will demand you to be available after offfice, all nighters, most holidays in the name of release. Even national holidays! But waste a lot of time initially due to lack of planning. Everything is done last minute. All work is ad-hoc. Even the founders or the top management dont do any quarter/ annual goal setting for product. They simply have no vision besides one meant for an investor pitch or a talk show. At max one has a week or two week plan which keeps changing ad-hoc. Very small team, all full of freshers a lot of them are interns so there is no scope to learn by observation. It's still a college startup run from a coffee shop in its approach, even after 5 years. If you are good at what you do, you'll find yourself pulling everyone's weight and made accountable for everything, getting shouted at for any ups and downs. A hierarchy doesnt exist, only because the team is really small. Not due to intention. The treatment is infact worse as there is no trust on their own employees. Neither do they care about anyone's well being.
- Work culture and job satisfaction : It sells a lie, there is no 'AI'. It's all data entry work. No machine learning, nothing. You will be loaded with work which may or may not be related to your job profile. A very average work delivery is acceptable even encouraged. No drive for quality. Patchwork is the motto of the company. Major fights between teams during or after any release, such atmosphere is encouraged.
Very secretive from top down. No team knows what the other team is working on even if on the same project. Communication between teams are discouraged and a very strong blame culture.
- Culture and employee benefits: No benefits and a very hushed culture. Also, the salary structure is one of the worst you will come across. The break up is not very useful for an employee to avail any tax benefits. No medical insurance although they have promised it since long. Leaves are just 8 and that too is mostly spent working. No sick leave. Even if you get Saturdays you can find yourself working on most of them. They will count your hours to the minute and calculate your effectiveness and efficiency. Will shout and demean you of any mistake but never appreciate.
Most positive review thats listed, have been arranged/ written by the top management themselves.
