Pros

The product is good and the idea they have put up in the market is great, there is no doubt in that. Tech stack is basic and simple, nothing fancy. Co-founder Rajul is worth mentioning. Very approachable and clear with his ideas and a great person.

Cons

I would have posted a very positive review if it was till mid 2019 when Company was good in all terms and the team was small. As they are acquiring more clients, things are worsening : work quality, work life balance, culture & values. The definition of values is altered to support management. It might prove bad for company to entertain over smartness and pompousness of a higher management. There is enough bragging which goes on inside company itself and employees too are tired from hearing all that. Hiring committee is trying to hire more people for cheap by hiring more freshers whereas there is dire need of hiring laterals. They think that the employees who get hired are stupid, who won't see what's going on for real. Work distribution is very skewed which is the reason for no work/life balance. Only two wfh are allowed in a month.

This is Rajul. I would like to meet you and understand more. Culture has been very key for whatever success we had and we wish to carry it forward even as we grow rapidly. Rapid growth brings lot of internal challenges but culture should not change. Request you to please meet me sometime outside office if you feel comfortable. Our interaction will never be shared with anyone.

Pros

Four years at Increff gave me something no MBA could: the experience of building systems at real scale, with real stakes, alongside people who genuinely cared about doing it right. The WMS codebase I worked on serves some of India's largest retailers. The pressure is real, but so is the support. I never once felt like I was alone on a hard problem. The founders are technically sharp and still deeply involved — a code review comment from the CTO is not unusual. That sets a tone that cascades through the whole engineering org. ESOP realisation on my way out was handled smoothly and fairly, and the references I got from leadership opened doors I hadn't even knocked on yet. I'm proud to say Increff shaped the engineer and the person I am today.

Cons

The culture is so good, that it sets high expectation, wherever you go next
