Pros
There are so few employees in a decade-old company that you get to learn a lot and explore new industries during your research. But that is about it apart from the learning there is nothing much offered by the organization.
Cons
1. Basics are missing - Delay in salary is such a common thing that people are surprised when it hits the account in time. No pantry, no proper leave system, no regard to employees need. 2. Sacrifices are expected from the employees but when the employee needs support he is told to think from the companies perspective. Working on weekends and stretching late into the night is common but sadly you don't get any overtime and not even compensatory offs are given for weekend work. 3. Subjective behavior on the whim and fancy of the CEO. Actually, he is more of a hostel warden rather than a CEO. If you are discussing something with a colleague he will start pacing around the floor to make you aware and in some cases brings his laptop to sit right behind the employees. Takes the entire team to a lunch and then disappears when its time to pay the bill. You don't expect such behavior from the CEO of any organization. 4. Sexist hiring policies and behavior. No female employee has been around for more than a year and if you are married then you are asked if you are planning to have kids to decide if they should hire you or not. 5. No clarity on HR policies and no documentation available. Every time you interact with the HR team something different is explained, whether its for leaves, bonus or anything else. There is no clarity amongst the management. 6. No focus on employee retention and engagement from the organization. They will take you out for a movie once a month and that is it. No other activities or policies to retain employees is in place. Major reason why no one sticks around for Overall a horrible environment exists within the environment. When leaving even 15mins early means you have to spend another 1 hour the next day to 'compensate' you know that the organization is not going to grow into an industry benchmark.
