Pros

- facilities like free food, cabs etc - good systems are provided. - certifications

Cons

- you will feel like you are in a jail for minimum 10 hours. - you are not allowed to go home even if you complete your work before timeline. - projects are not challenging, people are forced to work on any technology. - managers are not supportive. - people with technical expertise are very few. - employees are treated like slaves, management likes people who works for them for more than 12 hours and has got no personal life. - No securities provided for female employees. They are forced to work till 10/11 pm. -they torture for every single small things like you will be scolded if you are late for office even for 5 mins/ HR will keep watch on with whom and what you speak, for how much time you use phone, you are not allowed to speak in regional language, won't get leaves, - few old employees are very arrogant and egoistic. - no vision on projects. - they fired many people in a day when they didn't need them. - they provide free foods but will make you realise many times that company is doing lot for employees.

Pros

- Macbook. - Free food. - Parties - Exposure to AWS and certification.

Cons

- There can't be any IT company worse than this. I joined other company with even lesser CTC just to get out of here. ( Yes it is that much haunting ). - Lacks savvy team leaders. In the morning team lead will say we'll do this in this way and in the evening he' ll say i didn't even say that. - One single person is expected to handle project on his own without any guidance. - Everyone keeps ingratiating CEO to keep their jobs. - They dont have separate support team.( So guess who has to do that job ) - No proper project planning. - No deployment cycles. - 10 hours per day. - No work life balance. - Poor leave policies. - keeps constantly reminding employees that we have given you health policy and we serve free food. ( Big deal ? Every company provide health insurance and you serve free food but you also make them work 10 hours a day ).

Thank you for taking the time to write feedback about your experience at Particle41 and acknowledging our positives. To address some of the concerns you raised... It seems you had a communication gap with your mentor at times. An excellent way to resolve such issues would be to use the tools we have at hand like JIRA and Confluence to clearly communicate the approach we intend on using to address a user story. We follow bi-weekly sprints and continuous integration and deployments across all projects if that was not the case on your team, please speak to us, and we will take remedial actions. Can you please share with us more details on the issues you faced with the leave policy? Presently, we work five days a week, offer 20 days of earned leaves annually, up to 26 weeks of maternity leave and 15 days of paternity leave for first two children, seven days of bereavement leave if there is an unfortunate case of death of a close relative in your family. Apart from that, we have provisions for work from home, sabbatical leaves or leave without pays and up to 10 leave encashments. We do try to be fair in approving all leave requests so that every team member gets a chance to take time off, client timelines are not severely impacted, and a balance is maintained. We strive to be employee-friendly and pride ourselves on the benefits we offer our employees, and whenever we roll out a new benefit, we take an opportunity to educate everyone about the facilities available so that it can be utilized to the fullest. For example, currently, we not only offer five lakhs health insurance for the employee but also his/her spouse, two children and two parents without any deductions in compensation or an employee contribution, its unfortunate this came across as a negative. We are proud of our high performing team, and they deliver beyond and above our client expectations and due to their contribution have grown at a rapid pace in the last three years entirely organically, from 2 to over 40 members and expect to continue with that trend. Thank you, and do get in touch with us so that we can address the issues you have identified.

Good place to learn, Poor place to work

Pros

A lot to learn Get to work on the latest technologies Good festival celebrations Regular team outings Get to work on MacBook

Cons

Very poor management. Passive work environment. You can feel the management dictatorship every now and then. Micromanagement of a completely different level. Management and employees are egoists and heartless. Day to day politics of extreme level. The employees working there from the beginning are literally untouchables. They can do anything they want. The policies are totally different for them when compared to other employees. Weird and stupid policies. Most of those don't make any sense at all. Priority is given to people from good and wealthy family background. This looks strange but is true.
