Pros

1. Good tech stack. 2. Good hardware provided for workstations. 3. Working product

Cons

I recently joined saltside and recruiter made lots of fake promises to sell the company like flexible working hours, work from home option, in house snacks and lunch, Cab facility etc but all looks like the fake promises after working for few months. 1. Too much of micromanagement, Manager keeps an eye on number of hours you are working in office and you are forced to work after office or on weekends even when it's not critical. 2. If you are working from home then you have to give proper reason or take approval from manager(which is quite difficult as your manager likes to keep eye on your working hours) even when you are delivering on time. 3. Lunch is pathetic, you will surely get some stomach diseases. You can only find some cheap biscuits in the pantry on the name of snacks. 4. Cab service is horrible, they are not able to manage it hence they came up with the policies that makes an employee, not to opt in for the cab at all. No one is happy with the service and there is no responsible person for taking care of it. 5. Inexperienced Admin with no sense of responsibility and knowledge makes the things more difficult. 6. CTO of the company was very nice at the time of hiring, claimed no politics or micromanagement at all but he is the one who encourages micromanagement.
