Supportive Work Culture with Exciting Learning Opportunities - Associate Software Engineer Cotocus Employee Review

Freshers are misled with false promises. Upon joining, employees are required to sign a mandatory 3-year agreement, along with a 6-month notice period, which is highly restrictive. The working hours are long — 10 hours per day, Monday to Saturday. In addition to assigned tasks, employees are forced to perform unrelated work such as posting blog comments on the company website or LinkedIn, which is made mandatory. When an employee resigns, any blogs they authored are later changed to show the owner's name instead, without credit. The salary structure is demotivating, with yearly hikes as low as ₹500 to ₹1,000. The owner’s behavior and mentality are extremely unprofessional — often treating employees like laborers rather than skilled professionals

Salaries are consistently delayed and only paid after the 10th of each month. The owner’s behavior is highly unprofessional, often treating employees disrespectfully and without basic courtesy — more like laborers than professionals.

Cotocus provides the opportunity to work on exciting and innovative projects like HolidayLandmark. The team is collaborative, and the leadership encourages continuous learning.

Some tight deadlines, but they help you grow. Advice to Management: Continue offering opportunities for professional development.
