Pros
ShopDev didn't paid my gratuity too. After employment over, they start promising that we will pay it in a month. After the month was over they promised next month. Hence months after months were gone. The amount they promised to pay lost its value because of inflation. It remained half of the actual amount because of inflation of PKR. Instead of paying that half valued amount, they denied to pay at once. Now, I don't have any option to waive that amount, since that amount has become negligible. Same thing they do with salary. One first of each month come, they start begging give them two weeks to pay salary and then pay salary after two weeks and do promise we will pay next salary on 1st as per our company policy. When first come again, they start begging again and break their promise again and again. They are not man of words.
Cons
Those employees who work with ShopDev, if 12 months are over, they should ask for their 1 year gratuity to pay off. If HR raises excuse that has to be paid at the end of tenure, then just to get gratuity during employment and to fulfill SOP, one employee should resign from his job on one month notice period and grab his gratuity immediately. After gratuity is grabbed, and he want to stay with ShopDev, he can do another agreement of employment at very next day of notice period over. In this way he can also get raise in his salary in next agreement and he may also grabbed his gratuity.

Pros
ShopDev, as a software services broker in Pakistan, offers a wide variety of projects and client interactions that can be quite enriching and educational for software engineers. The organization is driven towards providing exceptional services to its clients, which in turn offers a high learning curve for its employees.
Cons
However, recent concerns regarding the compensation and payment of overtime have cast a shadow on the company's reputation. An ex-employee has filed a civil lawsuit against ShopDev for withholding his promised overtime pay and gratuity. This issue revolves around a disagreement on the understanding of a "full-time" employee's work hours - with the company implying a 24/7 commitment and the employee advocating for a standard 40-hour week. Many employees are now finding themselves in agreement with the latter perspective.
