Pros

Wordplay is a workplace only on the outside. A strong and absorbing culture awaits you when you join. I was technically a fresher (it was my first company job) and I experienced a work-culture that is a way of life. Speed is the word. Unlike corporates and MNCs, you learn more on the job, and your growth is mainly dependent on your reliability and aspirations. I found the top management folks easily approachable and they never say no to anything you might want to contribute or say, especially if you are an idea person. One thing that can be guaranteed - you get to learn many different things in the shortest of spans. I found this to be value-adding.

Cons

Sometimes the flexibility and freedom can go against your time management. The starting salary is not great, but appraisals are. Basically your consistency and tenure builds to it. Everyone gets to try most projects, sometimes transitioning quickly. It is a double edged sword.

Pros

—There were a lot of amazing and talented people working here when I joined the company, and each one of them had something valuable to share. Now most of them have moved on to better jobs. —Flexible working hours, somehwat —Freedom to use the internet

Cons

—There's nothing left for anyone to feel motivated to work here —If you come a little late and even if you work hard, you will be threatened with statements like "I will **** your careers and no one will hire you in the industry" —Salaries will be delayed because the company is in debt but Neil and his brother Venkat still have extremely high hopes for the company. Delusions, any one? —You have to ask for appraisals and don't expect anyone to say anything nice. You have to literally bargain for 500 or 1000 bucks. This is enough to make you feel like a customer at a grocery store than a hardworking employee at a company. —There are absolutely no benefits, not even tea and coffee. —You have to edit some really horrible work sent in by freelancers and the company will do nothing to improve the situation —Employees are taken for granted. Basically, the more loyal you are, the more you will be screwed. —You have to give a medical certificate for even a day's sick leave. So ladies, please mention that you're suffering from menstrual cramps when you're taking an off and get a doctor to prove it. Also, they clearly don't know about self-medication, so if you are taking Crocin for fever or headache, get a doctor's prescription. —Senior managers can disappear for days on, without informing anyone. —You will be forced to work in projects you hate because they don't believe in employee satisfaction

Pros

- In the beginning, it might seem nice that your workplace allows music to be played while you work and that you can troop in wearing what you wore to bed last night, but that changes—fast! - If you are lucky, you will meet amazing people while working there, but that is about it. If you have Lady Luck on your side, you will work with people who have the patience to teach you and guide you—if you are fresher—or will have colleagues you can respect. - Also, if you like listening to your voice echo (because of an empty space), the office would be your heaven.

Cons

The management here is awful. By that I mean, there is no management of funds, time, or resources. AT ALL. - You will get your work by lunch, if you are lucky, after which you will need to be faster than Flash to make sure you make submissions on time. - There are no added facilities. All you get here is drinking water (thankfully), work, and a place to pee. No tea or coffee and no kettle to even make water hot. - The salaries paid would make even peanuts look good. But then again, I've known people, who have gotten paid more than me, who couldn't even frame sentences properly. So, it comes down to luck, again. - APPRAISALS ARE A JOKE! These meetings are just gatherings of two or more managers and you. The managers tell you what you've done wrong, ignoring how much you've learned, the time you've spent everyday to make sure work was done, and what you've done well (like actually hitting insane targets when the need arose). During this same meeting, your personality might be brought up to, and how it doesn't command respect. Words like "sub-par" and "dispensable" are bound to crop up (as it has on three occasions that I know of). Once you've been brought down to the size of your salary (i.e. a peanut), they will offer you a low-ball amount. This is so that you would just be grateful to be offered so much, seeing that you can be replaced by someone from a talented pool of people. - The full-time post may as well be a contract post because no TDS is deducted, no insurance is offered, no HRA, nothing! - The profanity used when addressing employees, by managers, can make you question the integrity of the firm. (Note to company: NO WORKPLACE SHOULD BE OKAY WITH PROFANITY)
