WORST COMPANY EVER ! Beware of positive bot reviews.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

There is Nothing to mention here. All the positive ratings are bot generated and paid reviews.

Cons

This company underpays senior talent and offers very little appreciation for the workload. The pay for a senior software engineer is around 105k, which is far below market expectations, and there have been no hikes for three years despite the pressure to deliver. They also push for daily office attendance even when the client does not require it, and they treat leave policy in a very restrictive way by counting client holidays against employee leave. Overall, the culture feels exploitative and demotivating. They pressure to submit performance appraisal documents, but they will be no meetings with managers and no hikes.
