Pros

I worked in Daemon software services Coimbatore few months back. Here is my review. It was literally a nightmare for me for all the few months I worked there. All employees with some talent escaped from their company with in 3-4 months after joining. There is no lead,no architects. The only employees staying back their will be either don't have any skill set or they have some family commitment to be their in that place or some fresher for some experience. Work -They are long past their deadline for more than a year. Who ever started the project all ready left after few months. And who ever join newly will need to take up all the pressure for the delays. There is absolutely no document on the requirement or the design .And best part is the client keep on changing the requirement every week since they don't have any proof of what is needed. So one day you will be designing on one way and after one month the client will ask to change the complete design. Even after delaying the project for this long the management still don't learned how to freeze requirement.They will ask to come on all week ends.Their wont be any guidance or help.You need to solve all be yourself Salary- The complete salary giving is a fraud thing. They will create 2 salary accounts for you.1/3 of salary will be credited in one account and remaining in other account. You will get most of the salary on hand.But only 2/3 of your salary will be shown in your salary slip.If you want to take some loan or for showing to your future employer this creates issue.I finally took bank statement to show my current employee the salary I earned from them. No Professionalism- The management will shout at you in front of the entire company if they are not happy with you.They will corner you in meeting if you raise your voice. And they have history of firing employees with out any notice in one single day.I never seen such un Professional behavior in my entire career. One person can be rude,two can be rude,but all? Some thing is really missing here. Work Culture- This is the worst thing in that company. Every single person talk on your back. You will stop believing any one except ones in your circle. Bond- They will ask you to sign a bond for 3 years (if you leave before that you need to pay 2 lakh rupee )after joining the company.This wont be informed to you before joining. If you don't have any other offers in hand you will be forced to sign the bond.Edit...I came to know that after facing few issues from some ex employees ,they changed this policy.They will tell about this bond before joining it seems. Farewell- Even if you served all your notice period and completed all tasks before leaving, they wont give you a farewell .Instead they will simple come one day before the official releasing day and fetch your laptop and asked you to leave with out talking to your colleagues. So that will be the final day in that company. The relieving letter may or may not be sent in mail. Politics-If you want to learn how to play office politics this is the best place. From talented person to extremely soft introvert person will change their attitude after joining their because of the ill treatment from managers. No Hierarchy- There is no hierarchy their. You don't know to whom you need to answer.From CEO to Director to Manager they will check the status. And every manger will be upset that they are not following any hierarchy. Main reason why this is happening is CEO wont believe Director,Director wont believe what manager is saying. So they want to get updates from juniors .There is no respect or believe among management itself. No projects-They have only one client.There is no upcoming projects and the complete Coimbatore center is running under huge loss. They are getting some huge amount of money from consultation from their Bangalore and Noida centers. With that money they are running the show in Coimbatore. In short this company don't have any ethics ,no professionalism and absolute zero vision about how to grow and what to do next. So guys if you are lucky in life you would have gone through this review. Then you can decide all by yourself. I will be grateful if any single person escaped from this company after seeing this review.

Cons

Guys one bright thing about this company is that you can become manager or lead or architect with 2 years experience since you will be the senior most person in the company

Hi Thanks for the long feedback! I am sure people reading your feedback will be benefited with my comments as well. Let me address the major points you have addressed. We are an R&D centre so in IT terminology we are a grooming hub for young talent and new innovations. New innovations come from fresh minds which need to be trained in a stringent manner. Yes we are a matrix and a growing organization where the importance of stepping up and taking responsibility shows. So we give equal importance to everyone on the floor! Salary Payments - Coming to the salary part and the two payments, please note that this was designed keeping the welfare of our employees. By giving a separate PA we help in reducing the taxation. After continuous concerns from employees like you we have completely given up this system and PA is now stopped. Unprofessional shouting - If the management feels that it is a whistle blower then we will accept your views but when we feel that trivial issues are brought out of proportions then we will have to curtail it, that makes absolute sense. Further what is wrong in asking a commitment from a person whom we take atmost pains to groom from scratch. We feel that is a commitment that we need!!! Profit centres- When there is no delay in any of your payments and expense reimbursements does it really bother from which center the money really comes or if the company is making huge profits or losses. All we expect from our resources is to work hard and come up the corporate ladder and we provide the fastest growth ladder being the start up that you have mentioned! We have our vision and mission right, if you think we don't have any please feel free to contact the HR team to give you the copy of the employee handbooks to read through the statements with other applicable policies and procedures. We wish you all the very best and believe you find your ideal company! Thanks HR team!!!

Worst Company

Pros

On time salary and you can come to office and play cricket, surf facebook , download movies, play computer games and fixing just one bug and go back home. 1hr 30 mins lunch break and 1 hr tea break.

Cons

Working with people who have no technical skills but will pretend as if they are experts. No professionalism. Egoistic to the core that even people with 1 yr experience show their attitude. No process. Poor and micro management. If you don't perfom well but you know to play politics this company is for you. Zero work culture zero responsibility by fellow workers. Worst top level management Project Manager's will scream at you in front everyone. No growth in career.

Thank you for the feedback! We do have greater goals and vision set for the future. To aid our success we need dedicated resources who believe they can contribute and take additional responsibilities. Even if you state that we micromanage, we do so to give you the right directions and learning platforms. You can never deny the fact that the training programs we offer are one amongst the class with a proper rating system. Further being a matrix organization we have always supported the need for a better leadership in all our teams and never fail to recognize the star performers. Please revisit your ideas and we wish you all the very best from Daemon!

Pros

There are absolutely no pros at this company.

Cons

It is a very unpleasant workplace. No growth, no proper career path is drawn for an employee. Its all just glittering management, which is surrounded.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, however we tend to disagree with the points mentioned here. As an employee oriented organization, we believe in building an environment that is conducive for learning symbiotically, encourage creative ideas and help our people stay connected with our vision and values.These allegations simply sound irrelevant to our set up. Our team will be more than happy to connect with you for any concerns your might have. Thanks again!
