      Awesome Place, Sharp Peers and Great Work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It has all the ingredients of a great company. 1. Projects/ Products' work is intellectually challenging. As a engine team member, you get to work on some great algos and get to create better designs. 2. Management follows Employee-centric approach, which is the best part. Your voice is not only heard but prompt actions are taken. This even reflects in their policies for wholesome employee engagement. Team outings, happy hours, Wednesday Lunches, Annual Retreats are few examples. Even the smallest details such as ordering extra chapatis for you in team lunches are taken care of. 3. The people you work with are really sharp and helpful. Since the work is challenging so bar for hiring new members is also high. Team leads are extremely cool and since the team size is small , you get good amount of visibility. 4. Pantry : Ohh my....you'll just love this place. Name any snack or fruit or drink (non alcoholic :P ) and you'll find it. If you don't then it is just one Jira apart :) 5. The environment is very lively, courtesy to the young crowd. And hence, marriages are endemic :D. Even I got affected some time back :P

      Cons

      Since hiring bar is high, the work per individual is high as well. But the work is intellectually satisfying and you enjoy it. With good annual growth , temporary space crunch is there but it will soon be solved with the newer premise as management is already working on it. Work around releases gets heavy because of accommodating unplanned changes but it is applicable to every small organization. With all the options in pantry, you do tend to put on few extra Kilos.

      Dream workplace!

      Talent acquisition manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will be given complete freedom by the top management to bring in new ideas- right from a crucial decision making to requesting your favourite item in the pantry. Every statement of yours is paid attention to, by the top management, personally. I have not seen anything close to politics or any bad blood among any of the team members so far. The work environment is collaborative and all the team members are really helpful. The employee engagement activities include Wednesday team lunch, amazing (and healthy) food supplies, Annual retreat trips (Munnar, Kodaikanal, Goa.. so far), monthly happy hours party and every month brings a surprise! Other amazing things about this place are: Flexible work timings and work from home options Easy going and transparent processes Great work life balance Social activities Work satisfaction and team cooperation

      Cons

      Work pressure is slightly on the higher side but work seems like fun here.

      Mediocre company

      Senior engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Small company. Easy to get noticed if you're good. - Free Snacks, Free lunch (under $2) on Wednesday. - Work from home. Flexi-timings. - Table tennis boards, but beware, players may get targeted. - If you are mediocre, you might survive here through sycophancy.

      Cons

      The leaders and managers in all offices are mediocre. There is widespread nepotism, and sycophants run a mafia-like culture and can even get away with bad performance. Work culture is pathetic. Currently the company has gone into loss, so no bonuses. It's only going to get worse as per my assessment. Good talented people get fired sooner or later through politics. Ideas are stolen, your work is sabotaged. Unreasonable timelines. Impossible deadlines. Decision making is amateurish. Possible sexual harassment. Only long working hours is rewarded, not quality of output. You will see some people with red eyes due to lack of proper sleep.
