Pros
Learn politics better than Rahul Gandhi. You bladder's strength will improve, as you have only one bathroom per say 30 people. You'll feel that you are at home bcoz the rented apartment is bigger than the office ;)
Cons
You're a part of family, but actual perks are for "real family" member. So all in all you're just an idiot if you give more than required efforts. The CEO would walk down anytime and start saying asking for updates and even say demotivating stuff like you're going to fail, you failed last time in front of entire team. In every award ceremony, you'll find similar faces. i.e favoritism They want to build new system but the people who handles old system aren't ready to help them understand the old one. If you tell them let's make a fresh, the stakeholder would deny upfront. and the old system you can never understand, so basically a viscious cycle to end in failure for sure. The COO bargains time to build features like in a vegetable market. Beware of people: almost all of them "Dogle". They'll say one thing in front of you, and change the very next day. So make sure you have shoulder day twice at gym bcoz man you'll need some tuff shoulder for that weight. There are couple of architects and they keep fighting internally, I mean health debate is good. But good luck with the blame, bcoz at that time you won't find anyone. Your productivity is counted on basis of how much time you sit in office, infront of you desk. You breaks are monitored. Don't consider the Variable part of the compensation, bcoz one day an email will strike that it's null and void and you can't even fight. Dirty tactics of ESOP: esop prgram was announced, but you're only eligible for first tranche after completing 2 years. but guess what before you complete that period they have the fire button. ESOPs only belongs to family member. If you join at all, ask for all fixed compensation. If you're a girl Stay away, as even after multiple POSH complaint, there were no action on "family" members. There are people who are always there to steal you credit, so do not commit any POC if you are not working on the actual task. They laid off everyone who tries to think of their own and build a good system. The Dirty tactics during the layoffs, they have some good CA: Was done without intimating the employees prior, bcoz how else would they waste the couple of months of talented people. They paid the amount in april, but calculated it in March so that they can offset it with profit of 2024 and evade some taxes. The Taxes burden was on us, as we did not earn anything in subsequent month still paid high taxes in prev month. The Leave encashment was also done based on no of days in march i.e 31 days, had it been feb I darevthey considering it 28. :D The false hope calls, HR were made to call each and every laid off employee to convey that they have forwarded our profile. Guess what they never had one. Lies The company is surely going Downhill, so Avoid wasting your precious career.
