Pros

1) Small Scale company so you can expect almost 100% hike at the time of joining. 2) No team leader, No managers. Only POs or Director who act as a manager. So you can understand the positive and negatives. 3) Work load varies depending upon your projects. Mostly relax kind of place. 4) If you are coming from a big product company ( any famous company is bigger than Niyuj for that matter), your life is mostly easy since their work is mostly developing/supporting something which is already done in industry 10 years ago.

Cons

1) Avg life of an employee range from 8 months to 12 months. 2) During Covid they fired almost half of their employees in the name of cost cutting. Since so called Directors of the company failed to get any business running. 3) Job security is a Joke here. and they mention it clearly in their offer letter that ," Niyuj can fire you without giving any reason". Something people should have taken more seriously. 4) Every director is basically a drop-out from Veritas. So they also do body-shopping for Veritas and few other companies as a backup plan. Basically its a standard practice they follow before they fire any employee. And they say they are giving a second chance to the employee and fire them very next day without even serving notice. 4) Mostly old support projects, so nothing exciting here even in terms of learning.

Thanks for your feedback. I am actually quite surprised that management came across as rude. I always thought we have had an open culture and friendly environment. Not sure how you computed the average tenure of employees. Many people just completed 5 years. I will accept that one of our key clients went through a change of hands. They were acquired by a larger corporation with a big engineering centre in India and wanted to insource the work. But by no means was it our inability to do something. In fact, we recorded higher growth during the pandemic.. things don’t happen overnight and in general the IT industry had to adjust to lower client budget spends, etc. Obviously, we have let you down and that is never our intent. Why don’t you write to me at wani.ajay@niyuj.com and catch up?

Pros

* You can interact easily with the management. * Management will listen to you. * HR and Admin teams are supportive and understand your concerns. * You will get a chance to work on challenging projects.

Cons

* Honestly not much, just we can focus more on employee's aspirations and work more towards aligning them. * You may be asked to work on multiple projects, well that is a good opportunity to learn but can leave you in more stressful situations if things are not managed well.
