Cons

I cannot decide where to start. I absolutely hated most of the things about Merkle-Sokrati. Here are a few things: 1) No respect for personal time: You'll get calls at ungodly hours and even during weekends from clients or your internal team. There's no concept of a comp-off (compensation offs). All the time you spend working off the record is not acknowledged. 2) Pathetic values and culture: The culture at Sokrati is disgusting and unsustainable. People (mostly people in 20s, which is almost the whole company) generally just talk about women, sex, alcohol, parties and drugs. These are the focal points for leisure discussions. 3) Poor infrastructure: The old office at Baner road feels like a govt office that hasn't been repaired in 30 years. Even basic amenities like ACs aren't functional sometimes. Office space is poorly designed and always feels overcrowded. It's noisy so if you need a quiet place to focus and concentrate, God help you. 4) Incompetent management: Employees at sokrati get promoted relatively early. It has given rise to inexperienced, overconfident and incompetent people in their early 20s holding senior positions.

Pros

Great management, Great workplace, Great team.

Cons

There are no computers for creative team, they should work on High end PCs not on laptops.

Advice to Management

Give High end PCs to creative team, they can deliver work faster than they are now.

No work-life balance. Too much politics
