      Poor Management, No Roadmap

      Staff software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Food and Soft drinks are free. Salary is good

      Cons

      HR practices are deeply flawed. Just to manage mere 350 employees, they allocate 20 HR personnel. This creates an environment where employees are pressured to work day and night, 24/7. Those who can't meet these demands face termination, as experienced by several of my colleagues. I fear that if I refuse to work around the clock, I will meet the same fate. In the US, the workplace culture is commendable, but in India, it fails to replicate that standard, showing significant deficiencies. Many managers in India act as mere puppets, unquestioningly following higher-ups. Local managers hold little sway and mainly focus on self-preservation.

      Overworked, underpaid

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Laid back attitudes Some intelligent peers to learn from Lower expectations than at a larger company You can actually take time off

      Cons

      Everyone does the job of at least 2-3 people, and no one works a healthy 40 hour week Lots of single points of failure due to running such small teams No salary increases this year, not even for cost of living adjustments - very quickly becoming substantially below market

      A unique and great place to work

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A meaningful corporate mission that is energizing to get behind - The best group of people I've worked with, perhaps ever - A very strong leadership team

      Cons

      - If you don't like having a challenging opportunity before you within a strong results-driven culture, this isn't the place for you. Put another way, if you're looking for an place where you can kick-back and coast, this isn't your company.
