Great campus and culture, but pay and tools lack quality
Great campus and culture, but pay and tools lack quality
There is a chill work culture.
There is no strict WFO and no strict office timings. However, all the above can change if you have a bad manager.
There is a great office campus with excellent food and lots of options.
There are games and sports areas in the campus.
Perks include a reimbursement of 30k per annum.
There is great compensation if you are a lateral hire.
The company offers less pay than other companies where the employees do the same work, such as Google. There is very bad and basic insurance provided by the company, and top-ups are very costly.
Engineering work is mostly patch work. The work is not challenging and feels very boring. Internal tools have a lot of bugs, and no one cares even if you complain. There are bad engineering practices, and internal tools are not standardised across the company. There is also less compensation if you don't switch.
Stop doing patchwork. Give developers time to fix things properly and future-proof the systems.
