Worst work culture, no personal life
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
June 4, 2020
Pros: Our CEO is very optimistic and has the ability all the way. He is a good leader.
The very good thing about our CEO is that he addresses all the employees in Asakai.
Benefits include free breakfast, lunch, and commute allowance.
It's a good project.
Cons: Long office hours. It seems to be a typical startup where you are asked to work for 12-14 hours, and you have to be ready to pick up their calls at any time. This is horrible. You lose your patience and get frustrated. It causes personal life issues. You will start having health issues and mental problems.
