Pros

1. They give a very good salary hike. 2. The senior developers who work there are extremely talented and are very helpful.

Cons

Now coming to the part how working there actually is: 1. They pay you peanuts compared to what they make you work for. You will end up working more than 13 hours on an Average including weekend. 2. The CEO expects you to work on weekends considering you are a "FRESHER" and you do not need anything to refresh your mind with. 3. They have a "VERY GOOD HABIT" of pressurising their developers into meeting unreal deadlines and delivery expectations as if a day has 48 hours not 24. 4. If you are fan of "WORK LIFE IMBALANCE" and love to work 24/7 with absolutely no life outside of work then this is the right place for you. P.S - Dont expect to get paid for EXTRA-EXTRA-EXTRA hours by the way.

Pros

You get to have fun in office

Cons

There is a noticeable lack of professionalism among employees, which affects collaboration and accountability. Management practices are inadequate. The engineering manager lacks formal training in leadership or business management, resulting in poor team coordination and guidance. The CEO often communicates in an aggressive and disrespectful manner, which creates a hostile work environment and negatively impacts morale. There’s a culture of artificial urgency, with tasks often marked as high-priority without valid reasons, causing unnecessary stress. Favoritism is evident in decision-making, which undermines team cohesion and fairness. Critical resources required to do our jobs effectively are either missing or insufficient. The technology stack is outdated, relying on frameworks and infrastructure that hinder scalability and modernization (e.g., Ruby on Rails, PHP, self-hosted databases, no cloud adoption). Basic infrastructure like Wi-Fi is unreliable, which is surprising and unacceptable for a technology company. The work-life balance is poor, with employees regularly working 10–12 hour days and receiving little to no recognition or appreciation. There is a high turnover rate, and the company has struggled to retain experienced staff. Currently, no senior technical leaders remain. Deployment and release practices lack structure and consistency, often depending on the availability or mood of senior staff. The engineering team lacks diversity, with no visible efforts to build an inclusive workforce—there are currently no women on the engineering team.
