Pros

I have made some very close friends there. Viru , the CEO, himself has his heart in the right place. You can have however many disagreements with him, but he never lets that affect the fondness he has for team members. One thing unique about Verse is its HR. I have that at most companies, HR function has no power, and top down approach governs the company culture. But I was really impressed by HR led by Bhupi - they are empowered to help employees, no matter what. They stand by you in tough situations. Both my parents had health issues during my time at Verse.. HR + Admin.. in fact full team in product were very forthcoming in whatever help they could extend. Viru himself said, "he would pray for my father's health". Such sweet people. This was my first product management job. I must say that I have great fondness for the product and problems we solved there. I still talk very confidently and vividly of my experiences there. There was so much to learn. Product was complex. Work life balance was also awesome. Rarely we were bothered on weekend.

Cons

There are issues everywhere. Looking back, I think being forthcoming and proactive helps. Clearly knowing what one wants out of job, and clearly communicating the needs help in long way.

Pros

The culture was some what good when i joined on 2012 but it is now worse.

Cons

I am agree with all negative review about this company. CTO and other good techies already left from here. Only people who have no knowledge about new technology is working here and at management level its completely mess. Business is going down and now these people are cheating people in order to get money. Its kind of VAS company and they are making money by subscribing user without their knowledge with help of telecom company in bulk. For example airtel share 3 lac number to them and they subscribe all nember with so called free pack and if they will not dial some number then they will be automatically charged. I felt like doing illegal things when i came to know all these things and left as soon as i can. Completely agree with below fact of one of my colleague: 1. Senior Management Attitude & Behavior is unprofessional. Use of abusive words during meetings, accusing tones in emails are common. 2. Deadlines are decided and only when the deadlines are about to be over, the product requirements are shared and discussed for feasibility. Testing time is minimized as developers are hardly left with any time before the launch. 3. The changes are directly pushed to production without any testing. Corner case bugs are often found only in production. Clients have often sent notices due to major bugs. 4. Policies are created / modified whenever the senior management wishes. 5. Products are usually started off with different requirements but later the core requirements are changed which leads to the product being very similar /exactly same as the previous products. New product lack direction and often clear separation of requirements is lacking. 6. Unethical means of charging customers and earning money. Though the VAS industry might be doing the same but in no ways, does it mean that what this company does is ethical. This is done in partnership with the clients. Governance laws (if implemented properly) should kill their profits. You would not feel good about being a part of it. 7. You need to provide weekend support even though the job description may not mention this. 8. At whatever position you are, you would still be doing the same tasks. Your designation is "irrelevant".

Pros

-The team has genuinely sweet and nice people who are there to help and make you feel comfortable. - While hiring great pay

Cons

If you are good at office politics, please join Verse - Job becomes secured!!! They provide alcohol/ great food for only few teams at the time of release, they believe that by doing this favour employees will work overtime.
