Pros
Free yearly Workaction (Hidden agenda - getting trended on social media and lure interview candidates) Can learn few latest technology and have good client base so definitely a good learning curve Compensated well - (But never ever compromise on salary negotiation when you join, because you will be squeezed out of juice anyway and also dragged for appraisal later irrespective of how good you have performed.)
Cons
Working hours - Minimum 10 hrs, if you miss the reporting time(10.30am) for more than 3 days in a month then half day salary will be deducted and the 3 day cycle will be continued. No compensation if you worked more than 10 / 12 / 14hrs. Weekend works are not compensated or no comp off. This is the place where you will be slogging a lot so if you have a family or looking for work life balance, better look out for another place. You can expect calls and conferences to join at 9 pm/10pm on weekdays. May asked to work on weekends, won't be compensated for the same. If you don't pick calls on weekends or late evenings you will see different levels of tantrums. So because of this, many good resources leave the company, hence there is huge imbalance in sharing the work-load and tight deadlines on top of that. There are few PM and VP whose favourite lines is “kuch bi kharo din mein karo raat mein karo this has to go live” that's the best they are capable of Notice Period - Even for Sr software engg(Overall 4-5 years experienced) they have 90 days notice period and it's very very very strict. So your hike your employment comes with a big risk here. If you try to negotiate or mess up during notice period, it can get really ugly(legally and internally). There are horrifying stories in that line. Salary - Salary wasn't an issue and will be credited every month. But if there is a delay in salary nobody will intimate you. You have to go and check and nobody will have a clear answer for the same. The night mare is when you are on notice period. You won't be paid from the day you have put in your notice period. So if you have put your paper on 15th January considering 90 days notice period and settlement date(45-60 days) after your last working day, you may get the FNF settlement in May or June. So you need a Six month back up :D :D :D Covid and WFH - This company had handled WFH and covid relaxation policies very badly. During Nov and December 2020 post covid relaxation when they opened, some of the employees didn't report back to work because of the covid scare and concern over families health. Their salary was deducted even though they were working from home. WFH was a night mare, and it took time to adapt across the globe, but here employees who had casualties at home are asked to work. If you took leave for more than two days you have to produce a doctor's certificate. There was no paid covid leaves, no compensation. The employees who were coming to office and identified covid+ later, their identity and status are not revealed. The status was hidden by the HR(aka the co-founders). So the possibility of getting infected was very high. Because of not so employee friendly policies, culture and very bad work life balance. People who appreciate that and who have self respect don't stay here for long.
