Pros
- Flexi timings - Being a tiny Indian branch of almost 30 employees, you will get to interact with every one and know each by name - Young, slow and friendly working atmosphere - Fun activities each month, which can get boring with lack of creative ideas and place to organize them - Commute to work could be convenient, since it's located at Malad, opposite to main work centers such as Andheri - Employee engagement with programmes such as Mentor Mentee - Timely salary
Kontras
Ah, this list is going to be long. Well here goes! - the most basic con, less attractive CTC package. As mentioned in the title, CTC offered to freshers and individuals early in their career get competitive packages. People with experience are given mediocre raises, all because of the reduced take home monthly salary. That's the next con. If you're an experienced professional, don't forget to negotiate hard, i mean really hard. People have been duped and surprised when they saw their salary amount credit at the end of the month. - Horrible salary structure. Mostly everything you've proven yourself for, the skills you possess, get reduced to a huge variable component. It eats into your salary as if you're left with peanuts to fend yourself. Unthinkable, unseen, mindless components have been added - bonus for each release, sales of the company, individual performance. - Biannual review cycle. Completely pointless due to the awful structure. Though a hike would be decent, there's nothing to cause a cheer, when your take home doesn't increase as per your expectation. - Zero tax saving benefits. Nobody would be there to help you to save your tax. Don't expect any tax advice. Expect for further deductions on an already reduced salary. - A weak HR with no powers, does not fulfil the HR responsibilities of having an opinion for anything. Lack the spine to help employee with a better package, due to which the attrition in the firm has been high lately. - Outdated technology, boring looking products, lacks any potential to gain a firm customer base in India, because of which it impacts the annual sales and eventually your salary - Old timers as product owner of a strong product, Compleo. It is an one man army, who takes care of the entire core development, with other developers present to accessorize the software. - Name sake awards and recognition, completely biased year on year. - Because of all the above reasons, there wouldn't ever be a time and place to be motivated to perform
