Good Work Life Balance but Cap on learning/growth opportunities

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented team, good engineering managers and a chilled place to work with decent amenities in office. Very good compensation according to work done at office.

Cons

Higher management and product management decisions seem to be opaque. They call themselves a tech team, but there is a general lack of risks taken in product or technology which is not hindering growth but also bleeding out many talented engineers causing huge knowledge gap. As there are no risks taken, existing tech for certain product teams are quite obsolete and hence the learning is capped in those teams which in turn hinders career growth.

Few managers here have no ethics at all - worst place to work

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None except the free food if you consider it as a pro

Cons

Its rightly said that people donot leave the company but the bad boss, Lot of internal politics, some Engineers are being promoted as Managers who donot even possess basic management skills, who give unrealistic deadlines, do micro management, talk ill about you in front of others, if incase you question, your ratings are drastically reduced and will be given bad reviews ( a person who has got consistently very good reviews from 3 years from all managers and peers, suddenly get a bad review due to personal grudge) Stressful environment HR are puppets of Senior Managers(if incase you escalate an issue, you will be blamed and they make sure that you either quit or continue in the organization accepting the fault of others as yours, all blame will be put on you) Will not recommend this work place to anyone. If you wish to join, please try to know the team you join, research a bit and then take a call. Donot go by the positive reviews posted here. HR team asks employees to give positive responses.
