Pros

Some colleagues are helpful and cooperative. Exposure to maritime software industry.

Cons

Pondicherry branch enforces unnecessary, school-like rules not mentioned in the employee handbook or followed in other MariApps locations. Mandatory shoe-wearing policy even though it’s not official and not applied in other branches. Employees are forced to speak only in English — even during internal conversations in the cafeteria. If you fail to follow the “English only” rule, management imposes a ₹100 fine, which is not in any official policy. Leadership and local HR seem more focused on controlling employees than creating a healthy, professional culture. Kochi HR team and higher management have not intervened despite repeated concerns.

Pros

This is the best IT company in entire South India. The CEO is also greatest in South India. We are happy that we can work in this company even though the pay is not that much. If we meet the CEO and request directly, we even get work from home option.

Cons

Most of the decisions are now taken by Directors from Hong Kong office. Not sure why the directors in India are not involved.
