      Don't think about this company

      Technical lead

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There's nothing positive here. Didn't find anything.

      Cons

      They will make you cry, if you resign. Management will not reimburse if you have PL.So utilize all your leaves before you resign. Bad toilets, bad food, bad management, bad leave policy, bad time management, bad culture. Higher management abuses and yells at their team. No work life balance. All the architects are pet to senior management who have literally zero knowledge. If you are questioning then they will make your life hell. All the HR are postman with zero power. If you don't have any offer then join otherwise no no no..

      Not a great company to work with

      Technical lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good salary while being recruited.

      Cons

      - Worst work culture - 100 forms to fill and sign during joining - No clear roadmap on the projects - No strong technical expertise - Office environment sucks - 11am to 9pm work timings - Expected to be at work place for 9 hours. All time outside office are tracked - No cab facility - No work from home option - HR promises loads during interview process but couldn't find any during employment - No proper employee benefits - No entertainment during work - No proper canteen - No proper rest rooms - Provides old laptops for new joinees - Loads of policies in work place which I have not faced earlier in bigger companies - Joined as technical lead but was introduced to the team as software engineer which is the worst
