Pros

Salary. Downtown office. Snacks. Great coworkers .

Cons

First, do not believe the positive reviews! They were written 1-2 years ago when the company was a good place to work and management forced us to write them. In the beginning the company was a great place to work at. It was fun, challenging and collaborative. Over the last year the company has become a toxic place to work at. The engineers are blamed for company's lack of leadership and bussiness IQ. As a result, employee freedom and perks have been taken away. No working from - even when sick or not feeling well, must take a sick day, of which there are only 4 per year. Work day is 9 to 5:30. No trust in employees. Many promises made and broken. No company trip. No gift cards. No stock options. Unless you are part of a select few, you are not important. And your well being, your opinions or your career dont matter. They just want you to do your assigned work and stay out of their way. Because they think so highly of themselves and so low of others. The hard work people put in is discredited and not appreciated, yet if you make a mistake they are quick to blame. Performance reviews are an opportunity for them to point out all the things you did wrong and none of the things you accomplished. Team lead takes all team members credit and talks bad about other team members behind their back. Micromanaging. Arrogant. Antagonizing. High turn over. No one is happy. 2.5 percent salary increase after almost 2 years

Pros

- Snacks - Nice, smart people (most have left) - Free lunch on Wednesdays

Cons

- Management lies a lot, creates financial incentives for achieving goals and never pays, will promise everything (raises, promotions, company equity, etc...) and will never deliver. - Culture is toxic. Lies from management aside, time at the company is micro managed and it's a minimum 8.5 hour day, little to no work from home. They try to set up company outings, and employees feel compelled to go. Awkward. - No career growth. People rarely, if ever, get promoted. Recent "promotions", come with no pay raise and more responsibility. - Only the very top employees are compensated fairly, everyone else is underpaid. - Good reviews are either lies, or were written years ago, when the company wasn't so bad. Employees are told to write good reviews here. - Most employees who could leave, have left. About 6 or 7 people left in less than a year due to the sharp decline in company culture. - Employees who become friends with management, clearly get preferential treatment. - CEO has no management skills, will micro manage one task and ignore other priorities.

Pros

The only pro is, its way easy to get into TripStack.

Cons

Okay so lets do this pointwise 1. Recognization. You will never get recognized for your work. I worked on a project and was developed totally which would have saved good amount of money, but the company never trust Indian developers. 2. Politics. There is high level politics at management level. During lay off director says he has discussed with teams leads and took a decision at the same time we see team leads to be shocked by hearing the names of people fired. 3. Timings. During the start of career tech lead assured that there will be flexible timings and WFH policy, but in recent period they have started 12-9 time and if someone complaints about time then management directly ask to leave the company. 4. Ratings and hike. Your hike is based on rating which is common in most of the companies. But in other companies management does have one on one with that person regarding the ratings, TripStack wont be able to do this as it will clearly open their politics behind those rating. 5. Lay off. You will always have a hanging sword on your head. Although you give your 100% you will never be confident that its not your turn this time. 5. False promises. There were a lot of false promises, first they said they will give quarterly incentives but after completing 2 quarters they said we are sorry we said it mistakenly. Secondly when they changed timing to 12-9 they said we will provide cab service but again we just got sorry. 7. I think the management is trying to get parent company employe here by firing TripsStack employees. This list can continue but i think these are enough points to NOT JOIN TRIPSTACK
