Not a place for a Developer - Anonymous employee Sportz Interactive Employee Review

General Cons - - No salary slips given. If you need them, you will have to contact the Finance team - 3 months notice period - They will keep your original documents, certificates etc. until you complete your probation period - Below average appraisals. Good appraisals are given out to only those who are dear to the boss. Others, although they have put in significant effort, will not be appraised at par. Now some cons in their development/engineering practices - - If you are a developer and manage to stay there for more than a year, you will feel you haven't learned anything new after your first year there - No industry best-practices are followed. They DO NOT have a version control system like Git. SVN is used but only for a couple of projects. Others don't have any version control system. - Coding methodologies like project architecture, MVC, design patterns, OOP, test-driven development etc are non-existent. They just focus on translating the business logic of the project into the code as fast as possible and in any which way, turning a blind-eye to best-practices in the process. - You won't have the flexibility/freedom to take decisions. Some technical managers will not trust you and won't let you work in a flexible way. - Too much work pressure and kind of work that will not add value to your career as a developer after a certain amount of time. - Very tight deadlines and poor project planning.
