Pros

Every wednesday Rs. 500 zomato coupon from office.

Cons

Worst work life. After attending meetings till 2 am, they will pressurize you to go to office also next day. I am not sure if they consider us some super humans. They will force you to attend standups everyday at 9pm IST and in daylight saving at 10 pm, and the meeting will always stretch to minimum 12 or 12:30 mid night, irrespective of Friday. In short you don't have any personal and social life left. Then they don't offer any hikes, promotions, or full bonuses also. Toxic work culture. The team lead thinks he is the boss, he will try to manipulate you and put you under lot of pressure. There are no skip level meetings. your lead will also threaten you to layoff if you do not perform and deliver as per his wishes and as per his timelines. There is this ass-licking culture in upper management that you cant do anything about. In short I would not recommend anyone to join this company in my worst dreams also.

Pros

Time off requests approved Interesting and modern tech stack Opportunities to learn KMP and full stack as front end engineer Could be great if placed on the right team Highly Intelligent engineers

Cons

New Management is terrible in betting and gaming division, old manager was wonderful but was fired so an engineer who wasn’t doing their job could step into management role instead. Seems to be a culture of how can I always get ahead rather than excel in your own role Managers play favorites and constantly bring in unplanned work items in the middle or end of sprint and then say you’re not meeting deadlines if you don’t get them done on top of your committed work. Management sucks up to director and gives unrealistic promises to them, then throws engineers under the bus for their poor management if something outside of engineer control goes wrong Manager also misaligns core values with preached values from CEO and company. Was told to take time back if working after hours for on call and not go to meetings we never contribute to from CEO, but then low level manager says the exact opposite and that we have to attend all meetings and does not care about taking time back. Tons of non related engineering work to On call for mobile engineers is a complete mess (get called as first line of defense at all hours in the night for misconfigured dashboards and for problems that are purely backend or upstream and do not affect the client)
