A decent place to work among Indian startups
Site Reliability Engineer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
March 31, 2022
Pros: 1. Competitive compensation.
2. Good benefits.
Cons: 1. Little to no development, mostly Ops-related work.
2. Strenuous on-call rotation and high-pressure environment, with no work-life balance.
3. Lots of finger-pointing between SWE and SRE. SRE is generally looked down upon by SWE. This leads to a non-collaborative and low-trust atmosphere between teams that should be working towards the same goal.
4. Repetitive tasks that never stop coming. If you suggest some automation, it will be shot down by seniors in the name of reliability.
5. Most of the time, you will get last-minute requests, and half of the developers will lie about the priority and urgency of a request to get their work done quickly.

Four months felt like hell. Even after working hard for four months, there is no FTE conversion
SRE • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
July 26, 2022
Pros: 25% conversion rate into FTE
Cons: The initial 5 weeks will include training, recorded sessions, and assignments. You will not receive any assistance from mentors for solving assignments. After this, individual projects will be assigned. Even after completing the project, there is no FTE conversion. The FTE conversion is mainly luck here, not performance-based (though they say it is performance-based).

Pros: Great peers, managers, and seniors. The company cares for you and your growth. A great place to work.
Cons: Fewer ESOPs are given. There should be more.
