Mainly bug fixing, Some times need to work overtime which doesn't necessarily pay you. Company hierarchy is strongly visible, sometimes a new comer will not fit right in.

Met some great colleagues among the general staff,

Toxic Culture & Corporate Politics: The current environment is heavily driven by favoritism and internal politics rather than merit. Long-term loyalty and hard work are neither valued nor recognized. Unprofessional Executive Leadership: The CEO’s management style is highly counterproductive. Instead of addressing performance or operational issues privately, he frequently reprimands and scolds employees loudly in public spaces using inappropriate language. There is a stark contrast between the "mindful" or ethical persona projected during company speeches and the actual day-to-day treatment of staff. Biased HR & Unfair Promotions: HR does not act as a neutral or fair entity; decisions are heavily influenced by favoritism. Promotions are not based on talent or performance. Furthermore, there is an unfair salary disparity where individuals with the same job title and experience are paid differently based solely on their university, despite leadership publicly claiming degrees do not matter. Poor Work-Life Balance & Lack of Engagement: Employee morale is incredibly low. There are no annual parties or external motivational events. While cultural holidays (like Avurudu and Christmas) are celebrated on-premises, certain teams are still forced to work through them. Furthermore, internal events are poorly timed (e.g., Christmas celebrations starting after 6 PM).
