Heaven for QA , Hell for developers (Only For Bengaluru office)

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Good for entry Level candidates with a package of 5 LPA. 2. Good for QA as there are a lot of Automation work, Even freshers gets automation tasks.

Cons

1. No onsite. 2. Life of developers are in hell here, too too much of work pressure and QA is not responsible for any mistakes made by you, if something fails in PROD then you will be blamed. 3. Computer labs type sitting arrangement, there is no cubical here. 4. Perks are really really less as compared to any other product based company. 5. There is no Job security feeling here. 6. There is no office timing like 9 to 6 or 11 to 8 , you will have to work based on the requirements in USA, No shift allowances if you are asked to work from home. 7. Work From Home is not available for new joiners, even if you ask for it, but if company wants then you will have to work till 1-2 AM daily(no allowances for that also). 8. HR is not able to restrict senior employees to take work from home,managers and leads can take work from home whenever they want. 9. Only QA has the onsite opportunity for 1-2 months but not for developers(This is the biggest level of frustration any developer can get).

Worst company.... DO NOT JOIN THIS COMPANY

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get your relieving and experience letter on your last working day itself.

Cons

A big NO for support projects. No learning, No growth, worst management. Management doesn't have any empathy with employee. There will be weekly one hour long meeting just to discuss your leave. You are not allowed to take company holidays.It's not a company, it's a school, that too a very bad school. Please do not join this company. Manager will blackmail you to do unethical things. How can I forget dirty politics. Don't play with your careers. A big NO for this company. I wish I could give zero rating.
