Pros

The food cooks in the company.

Cons

I felt extremely frustrated with the work environment. Since leaving the company, I now feel relieved and much less stressed. Before joining this company, there are some important points to consider: Salary Deductions for Late Entry Despite Long Working Hours 11-13 hours daily. Salary Often Arrives Between the 10th and 20th, Without a Fixed Date. Misbehaviour from CEO & Senior Team Members. CEO Encourages Seniors to Pressure Juniors. Assigning Tasks on Weekends No Paid Materials Provided by the Company. There are no HR, project manager or accounts officer—everything is managed by the CEO. In addition to his CEO role, he takes on these responsibilities without properly focusing on his CEO duties. I believe he should focus on improving his knowledge in these areas. Every day, new plans are made, and the previous ones are forgotten. A lot of unnecessary documents to fill out every day. After adding data, the project status needs to be updated personally with the CEO. No HR, no project manager, no accounts officer—everything is handled by the CEO. The good reviews shown here are mostly posted and written by the company, with team members being forced to post them.

Pros

Good colleagues. Good food. Salary in time.

Cons

If you enjoy being micromanaged every minute, drowning in workload, and receiving zero appreciation — this is your dream company!.. Deadlines and project allocation is unrealistic, sudden projects will be added to your task list even if you are full of work load,... and there’s no motivation - only criticism and disbelief from ceo. The CEO plays all roles: HR, accounts, manager, and even your time tracker. Every day starts with a new plan (and ends with frustration). No new recruitment, No proper HR or management, only some old favorites who can’t go elsewhere. Pure mental torture wrapped in fake professionalism. Huh! Toxic environment overall.....

Pros

Dcastalia offers a fantastic learning environment, especially for early-career professionals. The culture is friendly and supportive, and management actively encourages skill development. The CEO himself is often involved in training sessions, which is truly motivating. The food and other facilities are great. During my time, the company was flexible with late entries and showed empathy during emergencies (though I never had late entries and was appreciated by HR). My manager was very cooperative, and I gained a lot of practical experience.

Cons

A bit more recognition for individual efforts could boost team morale. Also, encouraging more open feedback and employee input would further improve the culture.
