Pros

1. Some of the people in the company are good 2. As long as you don't indulge in politics, you can learn. 3. Good for a 3-4 month period if you are unemployed, but don't expect a good pay.

Cons

1. They claim free lunches, which are a part of your salary deduction. 2. Monthly parties for which you need to pay for your own drinks. 3. No work life balance, be prepared to work on Saturdays and Sundays and even on holidays. 4. They call themselves digital ad agency and expect you to work 24x7 (they say that on your face) 5. Long working hours, they expect you to work beyond your shift timings 6. One of the co-founders is extremely rude to people, he thinks of employees as his slaves and is always demotivating and humiliating them and saying the meanest things on earth. 7. Abuses in the name of cool-culture 8. Too much politics in the environment 9. When you leave the company, they ensure that they make that 1 month notice period the worse period of your life, they push you towards getting into depression. 10. All the employees here are always complaining. People leave in 3 months time, and those who are here for long love to engage in dirty politics. 11. No proper appraisal system. Your salary gets deducted for reasons unknown to you. HR is the one handling finances and ensures you get minimum pay. 12. The owners say we are running into losses, and do not appraise people at all. 13. No CTC, their HR policy is the funniest thing on earth, full of errors.

Solomo Media Response

Hey, Thanks for taking out your time and giving us pointers on getting better. Just to clarify few things - 1) All salary discussions with prospective and current employees are on in-hand salary. Anything which is part of CTC (lunch, parties etc) is shared separately. 2) Our offices are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. 3) We expect anyone to work for 9 hours everyday. We do recommend that people invest in self learning and improving their skill sets in their spare time. 4) We firmly believe that people who indulge in politics are the incompetent ones. Having said that, we have looked internally and will do a better job of communicating with employees. We are always open to feedback and ways to improve but few your comments are too generic or misrepresented, hence no action or response is possible. Again, thank you for taking out your time in sharing your feedback.

Pros

Review: Joined last year and it's been great: Pros: Flexible Work Options: Working from home has been fantastic. It boosts productivity and supports a healthy work-life balance. Supportive Management: The leadership team is incredibly supportive and provides excellent guidance. Their open-door policy fosters transparent communication. Global Projects: Contributing to global projects has been a fantastic learning opportunity, offering exposure to diverse cultures and work practices. Overall, it's been a rewarding experience. Looking forward to more growth ahead!

Cons

Communication Hiccups: Our chats can be like a game of charades with emojis. We spend more time figuring out what they mean than talking about work. Overall, it's been a year of laughs and learning. Work can be surprisingly entertaining! Looking forward to more funny moments and growing in my career.
