1. Be aware of a psychological warfare group aka People team. Your single word can be used against you. Terms and conditions applied. I am cautioning and suggesting being aphonic during your whole tenure here.
2. Interns along with senior developers are unfortunate pupils who aren't even aware of their own loss - at all technical, professional and financial levels. If you are an intern who is reading this, make sure you know your worth before joining this company.
2. You will miss a great chance in your life for fast career growth if you don't join this company. Opportunities are not provided to genuine hard working people in this company, until you have or you acquire and use manipulative skills for satisfying your senior hierarchy (mostly one senior director and one slavee manager in India). Your realistic growth will be wrapped under delusion created by political directors and managers. You will never know until someone pulls you out of it or you manage on your own.
4. You will rarely find poisonous chameleons in jungles, but you will find many of such here. You will never know you are surrounded with such people all the time who are indeed double faced chameleons.
5. My first year was really good and gem folks started leaving one by one eventually and now there are hardly 10-12 smart workers because of whom the company has not fallen yet. But we never know the future right, considering the history of lay-offs by this very company.
6. Appraisals are fake. For your own sake, forget about it, totally. Be real. Double your side income if you are working in this company.
7. You will never get recognition you are worthy of. You will be blamed if you raise your voice against any wrongdoing. I have seen many people here (in fact all who are working here for more than 4 years) are not at all progressive.
8. Here is a sensitive thing, I want to mention - Companies' critical male - to - female ratio says a lot about sadistic mentality about equal opportunities.
9. Culture is very boring.
10. Minimum 12 hours working is routine, you can't do anything about it. They compare Indian workers with US workers, but they forget that people in the US are paid hourly .
11. People work in Ridecell, for Ridecell, NOT for certain Star project. That doesn't mean companies get the right to downplay other resources who are not part of particular project. Shows favoritism. I am very certain that one day this project will become the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 chapter of the company's history.
12. This is not a Product based company. Please note. This company neither has product base nor service base.
