Pros

In terms of work it always has been null. Just a single pros that salary gets credited timely to deal with the motivation to work at such a place for 2-3 days.

Cons

•The people holding a supervisory position know nothing on development. •Juniors and trainees are treated like bulls. •No work and personal life balance. •They expect a person to work for them for atleast 11-12 hours and and work on weekends too( often at National Holidays). •Anybody working there feels demotivated for most of the time. •Team leads are too autocratic to be leaders. •No support to the employees unless they have a great past of being friends with the CTO. •You might be traveling from 3hrs away and still you would be expected to not choose shift that suits you. •Startups do need extra working people but accepting unrealistic deadlines from clients and pushing the employees to work it out is unprofessional. •The unprofessionalism that I have experienced here has never been seen at any other firm. • Mental health zero, learnings zero concluding to a career which is zero with a few bucks in your account. • Salary deduction disguised as complaince and tax are something to beware of. • No office parties or fun activities. • Improve your HR policies too.

I beleive you are the same individual who has written a feedback earlier as well. I very much empathize with your situation and cannot imagine how difficult it must be for you at work at the moment. Having said that if you are still working with us (which it seems to be) may i request that we have a one-to-one session where i can try and address some of your concerns. Some of the advice you have mentioned for the management team which includes me will be considered with all sincerity but stating that we are doing something illegal with taxes is factually misleading and illegal. May i request you remove such incorrect statements. Furthermore for anyone who has worked with me knows that i treat my colleagues with utmost respect so i am not sure why you feel otherwise. Once again i would request you to give me an opportunity to understand your concerns so i can atleast try and resolve some of them to allow you to want to continue to work with us. A disclaimer that i am the CTO of the organization and yes i do quote that we are not a training institute. I stand by that statement. When i hire freshers or juniors i expect them to want to learn and work hard for it. We provide every support for our resources to do that including time, learning tools and standard industry wages. What i do not appreciate however is that we are used as a launching platform where people come to work for us for 6-8 months, learn and then hold us at ransom for salary negotiations with threat of other jobs. Also i am not sure how you are not aware but the company has purchased dozens of courses on Udemy which many of your colleagues have used to train themselves. May i suggest a session with HR to get yourself enrolled on those. Last but not the least with the state of mind you are in i am not sure how you are managing to be happy at work or in your personal life. If you would like you can take some paid time off (above the standard leaves you get yearly) and i am happy to work with HR on that that, rethink your current situation and come back to me with maybe suggestions or inputs that you think will help you be happier and want to grow with us. It is imperative for any organization especially a startup that its people are happy at work and i firmly beleive in that. I hope you give us the opportunity to work with you on the feedback you have shared to try and change your opinion about our organization.

Pros

There is nothing as in best to work with this company except that the salary gets credited on time

Cons

If I talk about downsides of this company, zero management , No HR policies - on the name of HR they have no one to look after those issues. PM or Managers think that they are the king of the organization and will want you to work you like a bull. People who are working here since long think that they have bought a company and treat the new employees like hell. They will try each and every possible thing to make you leave this company. Having friendships with seniors can definitely work where the one has to do licking. of the one to get into the things. Personal life zero, Emotional support zero, Mental Health zero.

I empathize with your situation and review, and let me try to get a few facts out of the way first - * The HR person issued your offer letters, and in the last three months, we have onboarded an HR organization to manage our daily HR tasks. So I am not sure why you are not aware of this. * Any person who has worked with an organization for more than a few years feels a sense of ownership towards the organization, which is suitable for both the individual and the organization. This also means that they will have better relationships with the management than a fresher in the system. There is, unfortunately, no way around this, and it's just a fact of life. To address the problems you have stated in your feedback - * As with any project life cycle, there are times when you don't have work for even 4 hours a day and others when there is work for more than 8 hours a day. It's just how IT projects function, and while we try to ensure enough staffing is available, people fall sick, have to take time off for personal reasons, etc., and this means that other people in the team have to step up and take ownership. We only try to ensure this isn't a habit and no one individual has to go through this every time. * I am concerned that you have had people doing things to make you leave. I have never encountered such a situation, and I would be keen to address this problem if you could discuss this one-to-one with me. However, I must state that performance issues are taken very seriously. If this is why managers have had to let people go, then this is just a fact of the industry you work in, and whether it is here or anywhere else, this will remain constant. * We would love to provide emotional and mental health support to our staff, but we are a small company and cannot budget for this at the moment. I will, however, take this up with the HR team and see what we can do. Thank you for providing us with this feedback.

Pros

Been working with this startup since 2019 and found it difficult to agree with some of the reviews I chanced upon here. A startup always has challenges and to be successful and enjoy being a part of it, you gotta be a ‘tough cookie’! Extra effort will always be needed when you’re part of a startup! I see a lot of positives in a lot of places, salary always on time, learning courses available from day 1 on these training platforms like Udemy etc, genuine feedbacks with an arm around your shoulder, inclusivity on project challenges like on time deliveries (this is where it is expected to put in the extra hours, which is fair), consistent focus on better time management (trying to finish your work in the shift), getting together in office parties (we had 1 before covid) and then online birthday celebrations, planning ‘hackathons’, music, art, health insurance, covid jabs, etc etc. There is so much happening, but you gotta be a part of it to feel being part of it… No salary cuts during covid, none at all! Even annual increments were given to employees who have completed over a year on the company. Policies will get better as the company grows, I understand that as the leadership/ownership is also learning A lot of support if you or your family had covid or post-covid issues, I experienced all this first hand Senior roles in the company have been and still push each other to find work-life balance and push to try finishing tasks in those 9 hrs, and help distribute workload as well. But I understand as a startup, you try to bite more than you can chew, and that’s where it becomes important to share workload and say ‘no’ when needed.

Cons

Overall policies need more depth. I expect that will happen as they grow

Thank you for your feedback. And a big thanks for your understanding of what a startup culture is. This means a lot to us and i am sure acts as a good indicator for people who want to join us. I will be the first to say that there are areas we can improve on. But i/we prefer to do it collectively as a group and grow steadily.
