- A tracking tool named HubStaff will be installed on your machine which will track mouse movement, keyboard keystrokes, URLs visited, time spent on the apps on the machine, and 3-4 screenshots of your screen every 10 minutes. If you are in a meeting OR thinking about code (working on a pad or something) and not moving the mouse or using the keyboard for 10 minutes, all this time will be removed from your daily work time.
- You are expected to be available 15 hours a day, on weekends, holidays in order to achieve the unrealistic timelines set by management and client. If you have any plans for your personal life, you will just have to cancel them.
- If you are working on week-offs, you are not entitled to any compensatory off/pay. You will be informed about weekend work on Friday after 5PM.
- If you discuss these points with the Lead/Manager, they will ask you to discuss with HR as they are not aware of the policies of the company (This comes from a very experienced employee of the company). The reason behind this is, if you talk logic, they don't know how to answer.
- If you are having some health emergency, a day off, after that they are like, take a tablet and work on this because the client is expecting the delivery.
- There is always a resource crunch. (Most used excuse if you discuss if they can onboard more people on the project since the tasks are more and the timelines are pretty tight). They started this company in 2006 and their active employee strength is at 200-250. You can guess how employees are joining the company and leaving it soon after realizing what they have got themselves into.
- If you do something good, you won't get appreciated but if you do even a tiny thing wrong, be ready for an earful from management for long period and this will be done on a daily call, in front of the entire team.
- You have to update your timesheets at 4 places. There is no central tool to track it in one place. One more thing, you are not supposed to put more than 9 hours in the sheet even if you have worked for 15 hours. With this, God knows, if the upper management is even aware that their so-called family is stretching almost double shifts sometimes and they need to push back the client at a point.
- For internal tracking of the tickets/bugs, you will have to use sheets that are messy and causes confusion in daily work.
- If you reach out to HR, you would have to wait for getting a reply from them for 3 days sometimes, and if you mention this to them, they will say that they will discuss and will sort this out. But it never happened even after waiting for months.
- Notice period is 3 months during the probation period in case the employee resigns and this is not mentioned in the offer letter, HR policy document. So once the employee joins the company, he/she doesn't have much of a choice to leave from there early.
- You can't even think about work-life balance if you are working in this company so think again before joining.
