Pros

I was associated with the company for several years. It is hard to find any Pros about it however let me try. - Compensation is okay-to-good. Their formula for laterals is straight. Number of years multiplied by 2 lacs. For example: If someone is 3 years of experience, s/he could strike a deal at 6 lac.

Cons

Oh yes - There are many. - Completely unprofessional environment. - One example is : Salary happens on 7th of every month. The reason - Well, the reason is Founders of SoftDEL come from Manufacturing background and years back Manufacturing companies of Pune were paying salaries on 7th. - Strict control over personal activities (such as how many times one goes to washroom, how many times one takes personal calls on cell phones etc.) - There is no single person who can take firm decision. Everything happens 'at wish' and 'at mercy' of their founding members. - Pay may seem high BUT it is a trap. - There is very dirty cafeteria. Every senior member of Management team brings their own water since most of them come by car. - Saturday is a working day ! - Please get this clarified at the time of interview process. - There is a Bond (for a year / 6 months / 3 months etc.) and the conditions in the bond include "deactivation of LinkedIn profile" and "in-active" status in Job Sites. They feel very insecure if one is looking for job ! - Strong adherence to 'Sir' 'Madam' culture.

Pros

No pros. A Total disaster.

Cons

Well to start with, the management is hopeless. You will be monitored to such a minute level that questions will be raised on what you talk to your colleagues on social platforms. They will monitor your timings minutely. 9 hours is compulsory and there will be meetings every month end on why it has happened so and all the good work you do will be kept aside. Culture is very bad and within 3 months you will feel like you have taken a bad decision of joining this company. They will make you sign 6 months to 2 years of bond because they are confident about their culture and they know people would leave the company even before 6 months of completion. It is NOT A PRODUCT COMPANY NOR A "IOT" COMPANY. Its a service based company and there is always a firefighting going on. Managers will never do their work and everything will be blamed on the developer/Testers. Worst thing is politics. There are people who have gone up the ladder by licking boots. So make sure you do the same if you want to get a good appraisal. Even if you make the client delighted but not the manager then its gone. No appraisal for you buddy! All projects are in Red zone or go away in short time. So no opportunity to explore. IMHO please avoid getting into this company. They will pay you very well as compared to the other offers you have in hand, but soon you will realize that it was a trap.

Pros

Not even a single one

Cons

Softdel's work culture is a masterclass in how not to treat employees. It's a soul-sucking abyss where dreams go to die and motivation goes to wither away. If you're considering working at Softdel, I suggest you run in the opposite direction as fast as your legs can carry you. First of all, the management is a complete joke. They're disconnected from the reality of the employees' struggles and seem to revel in making arbitrary decisions that make no sense whatsoever. It's as if they've been trained in the art of making the worst possible choices for the company and its workers. Its a hire & fire working cultured company The micromanagement at Sofdel is suffocating. You'd think that the higher-ups have nothing better to do than breathe down your neck and second-guess every move you make. It's impossible to have any sense of autonomy or ownership over your work when every decision is scrutinized and dictated by someone who has no understanding of your role. Work-life balance? Yeah, right. At Softdel, work is your life, and your life is work. Forget about having personal time, family commitments, or even a moment to catch your breath. The expectation is that you're available 24/7, and any attempt to set boundaries is met with passive-aggressive comments and thinly veiled threats. Oh, and let's not forget the toxic culture that thrives within the company. Instead of fostering a collaborative environment, Softdel seems to encourage an environment where achievements are pitted. Softdel's work culture is a nightmare that no employee should have to endure. It's a breeding ground for burnout, frustration, and resentment. If you have any self-respect and value your mental and emotional well-being, steer clear of Softdel and its toxic work environment. Your career and sanity deserve better than this dumpster fire of a company.
