Pros
  • By far the best engineering team I have ever worked with.
  • The product has a big international appeal to it and every engineer here solves real first world problems.
  • There is an awesome pantry, and a serious workspace.
  • The pay is nice.
Cons
  • Horrible HR policies, they sit close to the office door to monitor the in time and out time of the employees. No work from home culture and absolutely 0 team bonding.

  • No vision, there has been no new product made after its initial two products. It's just bug fixing, maintenance and features.

  • No ESOPS, the parameters for bonuses are not penned down unlike 20000 other things and is solely in the hand of the management.

  • The management nitpicks way too much, doesn't like employees walking down from the office for a smoke, shorts are not allowed.

  • Nothing can be pushed to production without the consent of the CEO / CTO, so technically speaking there is no ownership (unless it is about blaming if something doesn't work out)

Advice to Management
  • You got the best engineers in country working with you. Respect them. They build your company, you don't. This is not school.
  • Pringles are awesome. Thanks for those.
