Pros
1. Take fine from people, if people misses any meetings or task deadlines (even though you could be blocked because of other teams microservices). 2. Can apply lockdown at any time, lockdown in this context is 7 days working per week, everyday is around 10-12 hours working. And there's no end of lockdown until Tech Lead starts feeling happy . 3. If you see Labour Laws of India then lockdown is in clear violation of it. but nobody can touch Fynd, because Reliance owns majority share in it. And lockdown is not 1-2 time scenarios, it's something that happens to every team in 4-5 months have to go through. 4. Don't give work from home. 5. No Flexible Timings, instead hard timings of 10-12 hours, if leave early, would be made feel guilty. 6. Will give you continuous threats about Appraisals when time of them is coming. 7. Doesn't like to give appraisals. 8. Tech team and Product team is not aligned. 9. Half of the code you work upon will never see the Production. But the business team will give hard deadlines to finish it, and then suddenly they don't require it. 10. HR teams have no role in this organisation, they are here for name sakes only. 11. Never do documentation of products or requirements, but when things gets messed up, blame the development team. 12. If you are on sick leave, then that means you are on call on a weekend. Because they don't care if you are sick or not. They just assume that if you are on sick leave, then that means you are just lying about being sick. 13. And if you are on sick leave in lockdown, then you have to provide proper documentation of that, medical certificates, x-rays, blood reports. The funny thing is Leadership never cares about the proper documentation of requirements or features or software's , but they expect you to do that for sick leaves. 14. Fynd has no hierarchy. 15. To get the ISO certification, Fynd organises presentation and then a quiz after that, and gives answers of that quiz in the same meeting. Only the people giving presentation knows the importance, other than that , nobody cares. Not even 10% employees knows The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023. Again, Nobody can touch Fynd because Reliance owns it. 16. Tech CEO don't care about tech tech teams , and how they are run , he just works on saving money. 17. Tech teams use JIRA tickets, but if product lead wants to , he won't follow JIRA tickets. He'll just put the requirements in some document, and send you the document, reason he does that he don't documentation properly, and when the product messes up on production, then it's your word against his. And, current stats says he'll win always. 18. Fynd is a new company, but it already has nepotism, lot of times you meet people who are brothers and sisters , or some relatives to the Leadership team. And you can't say anything against them in meetings. 19. But working in Fynd is quite easy, you should always remember that it's a business deal, they give u money, and you work for them, and that's it. Always make a boundary between personal and professional lives, or Fynd will ruin your personal lives. 20. Even though Reliance owns majority share in it, they never care enough do the management. 21. Tech CEO is an aspirational person, but he don't do management, that's why he gets fooled. He got WSR (Weekly Status Reports) every month or so, and put dates and numbers in it, and 90% of them are just lies. He should do surprise checks on these features and he'll know "The Truth". 22. Fynd's org structure is quite good on paper, but in reality it's just plain mess. And we all know the product will not be good , if the assembly line is not right. 23. The business give fake promises and deadlines to their customers and their CMO too, and then dump the whole scenario on the Tech Team. 24. Anything good in Fynd is that they have very hard working engineers. But I guess that's just because they are Indian Engineers. 25. Fynd have a lot of money because Reliance is giving the funding. 26. At anytime, they can put the employees on PIP in very large numbers, so they could reduce the layoff count and hide it from the Public. Adios!
