Cautionary Note for New Hires: Toxic Culture and Outdated Infrastructure
Pros
Salary Punctuality: Salary is consistently credited on the 5th of every month rather than at month-end, which can be challenging for employees with EMI commitments
Cons
Infrastructure & Work Environment: The infrastructure is severely lacking. There are no laptops provided (desktop-only roles), and the shared cafeteria is in poor condition. For a software role, the lack of modern tools is a significant hurdle. Micromanagement & Strict Policies: Extreme focus on "desk time." Employees are expected to be at their desks for 8 hours without recognized breaks. There is a strict "1-minute late" policy where salary is deducted for even minor delays, and mobile phone usage is restricted. Toxic Hierarchy & Favoritism: There is a clear divide between "old" employees and new hires. Long-term staff enjoy perks like remote work and flexible hours, while new hires are denied basic WFH flexibility Technical Bottlenecks: The development process is highly inefficient. Code deployment is bottlenecked because access to Git is restricted to a single person, leading to wasted efforts and long wait times for production moves. Job Insecurity: The company has a culture of firing employees without providing constructive feedback or valid reasons, which makes it a very unstable environment for career growth. Benefits & Leave: There are no Indian holidays observed. The leave policy is very restrictive, offering only 15 days total (including sick leave) per year. Unprofessional Onboarding: Be aware that offer letters are not provided until the actual day you report and join, which is a major red flag for any professional.
