Good Benefits, but Growth, Compensation, and Recognition Need Improvement
Pros
Work-from-home support allowance of approximately ₹24,000 per year. The company offers a good work environment with a well-equipped office and employee-friendly facilities. Benefits have historically included free lunch and cab transportation services.
Cons
Compensation is below industry standards for the experience and responsibilities expected from engineers. Promotions and recognition can sometimes feel influenced by visibility and internal politics rather than purely by performance. There is a perception of favoritism, where some senior team members receive rewards despite limited contributions, while junior engineers (SDE1/SDE2) often shoulder a significant portion of the workload. Managers are not always closely involved in day-to-day execution, making it difficult to accurately identify who is driving projects versus who is underperforming. Engineering work in the India office is often focused on maintaining and supporting products developed elsewhere, with fewer opportunities to build greenfield projects from scratch. Notice period policies can be rigid, often requiring buyout options rather than providing flexibility through notice period reductions. The exit process could be handled more professionally and empathetically. Communication around asset return and full-and-final settlement can sometimes come across as unnecessarily aggressive.
