Minpunten

This company is honestly one of the most useless and exploitative places to work for employees. There are literally no employee benefits. No bonus, nothing… not even a Diwali bonus. Imagine being so chindi that you can’t even give your employees a basic festival bonus. To cut costs they even fired employees from higher positions. That tells you everything about how much they value people. And when it’s time for a salary hike, they ask you to sign a bond first — only then they’ll consider giving a hike. Like seriously? That’s not growth, that’s straight up trapping employees. People keep leaving this company and management had a whole meeting about why Gen Z employees are leaving. Their “solution”? Make all Saturdays off — but at what cost? 9.5 hours of working time. And during those 9.5 hours you can’t even properly take a tea break because tea is served at your desk so that you don’t stop working. Lunch is limited to 30 minutes only, which basically makes your office time 10 hours every single day. At this point they should just provide beds in the office so employees can sleep there too. Why even go home? It literally feels like my entire life is being spent inside the office. For a 4–5 LPA job they expect people to give their whole day, their health, and their sanity. This isn’t even about money anymore — it’s about basic human respect and health. Sitting 10 hours daily with no proper breaks is ruining eyes, posture, back, even knees. And it doesn’t end there. They also expect employees to provide support on holidays if something breaks in production. For a 4–5 LPA salary they want you to cancel your plans and be available anytime. If you refuse? They indirectly threaten your job. There is zero professionalism here. When someone resigns, they intentionally create problems during exit — bad experience letters, bad reviews — almost like punishment for leaving. The company keeps losing employees but still refuses to hire enough people. In a normal product company you would have proper teams — backend, iOS, R&D, etc. with at least 8–10 people. Here? Maybe 4 people handling the entire backend while the company expects the workload of a full team. And the product itself reflects this mess. It’s basically built on patches and bug fixes. No proper architecture. No planning. No CI/CD. Anyone can push code. No structured code reviews. Developers are expected to: - Understand vague requirements - Develop the feature - Test it themselves - Deploy it themselves - And also handle production support Basically one person doing the work of an entire team. This company thrives because it operates in places like Indore where they can easily find cheap fresher labour. During hiring they sugarcoat everything and talk about “focused employees”. What they actually mean is people who will silently work 10 hours a day without questioning anything. They romanticize overtime but never mention it clearly during hiring. Freshers, please don’t fall into this trap. If they are hiring you, it’s not just because you are capable — it’s because freshers are easier to exploit. Honestly one of the most exploitative workplaces I have seen.

Seriously Pros, huh no!!!!!! Just read the cons.

Minpunten

I rarely write reviews, but this one feels like community service. This company defines “toxic work culture.” Everything is marked urgent, even things that have been sitting untouched for weeks. There is no planning—just chaos disguised as productivity. Compensation? Below average. Way below. The workload suggests top-tier pay; the salary suggests unpaid internship energy. Leadership? The tech lead is manipulative, unprofessional, and has no issue insulting team members publicly. Support is nonexistent. Encouragement? Never heard of it. Constructive feedback? Replaced with blame and occasional blackmail-style pressure. Work Hours? Expect long working hours as the default. Only two Saturdays off per month—and even those are sometimes “optional-but-not-really.” Sundays are not sacred either. Work-life balance does not exist here. Growth & Learning? Zero. You’ll be stuck doing the same repetitive IoT integrations with no exposure to new technologies, no structured learning, and no mentorship. Career growth is stagnant at best. Flexibility? Be there at 10:00 AM sharp. Two late logins? Half-day salary cut. No exceptions. No adult-level trust. Pure attendance policing. Team Dynamics? The QA team barely functions, so developers end up doing their work too. There is no appreciation for good work—but if anything goes wrong, blame is immediate and public. Management Style? Micromanagement to the extreme. Every minor detail is monitored, yet there is no senior guidance when you actually need help. You’re expected to “figure it out” alone. Overall: If you’re looking for burnout, stress, and a masterclass in how not to run a tech company, this is the place. If you value growth, respect, fair pay, or basic professional dignity—look elsewhere.
