Pros

- You get to learn a few new things. - Tea/coffee is provided in the office. - They give sick leaves/holidays easily. - Good office location(Viman Nagar); although office's interior design is meh. - Interview's are quite easy. - The CEO is cool and talks nicely most of the time.

Cons

- Computers given to employees are not good. They use Hackintoshes for development; can't afford real mac's. - You are expected to know everything and to work on your own 24x7 even on weekends if the project demands. Sometimes developers have to stay in after regular office hours (9AM-6PM). - The CEO wants everyone in the office by 9 AM, i.e., no flexible work hours. - No remote working. - Working Saturdays(until lunch time). - If you are a developer, they will try to put you on other technologies they have projects for. - No canteen. You have to arrange your food. - You won't receive any kind of appreciation from anyone for your work. - Most of the projects are not interesting. Clients are some individuals in US who want to build apps/ sites just because they have some extra money; but there are no original ideas. - Salary is moderately good but work culture is not good at all. - Many people join and then leave after a few months like me. - No work-life balance. - They've hired a new manager. He thinks he's cool.

Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. To address your key concerns: Work timings: these are far more streamlined now than when we first started, and we’re constantly improving our processes. We have a five-day workweek, weekends off, and we have fairly flex timings. While we do follow a routine – as all professional organizations do – we’re interested in the output our employees produce and give them the freedom they need to maximize their own productivity. Hardware: while we aspire to invest in high-end machines, our focus remains firmly fixed on implementing the latest software. All our developers have a multiscreen setup with Full HD large monitors. Every individual request for hardware is met. There's Macbook Pros, Macbook Airs, Macminis, Linux and Windows machines. From Emacs to Sublime to Visual Studio, our developers choose their favorite environments. We work on multiple tech stacks, from React & Angular, Swift, Kotlin, Docker, Vagrant, AWS, Azure, and so many more technologies. We believe these are and should be, the real differentiators for every developer worth their salt. Appreciating our staff: we like surprises, and we know our employees do too. We give them bonuses when the company does well, even when they don’t expect it. “Cool new manager”: this one hurts – we thought we were all cool 🙃
