      Decent tech stack, but terrible management and HR issues

      Software consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      They work on a decent tech stack. Lots of resources to learn and grow. If you are lucky enough to join a good team with a good manager (super rare), youll be ok.

      Cons

      Everything else. Management is terrible. HR is cunning. The fact that they speak about culture and values is laughable.

      Flexible work options, but poor compensation communication and job security

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Company based on flexibility like hybrid and flexible work from Home options ( the project i worked)

      Cons

      No timely compensation increase has been implemented for Employees below Directors. Even appropriate communication will not be sent for delayed yearly compensation increase. Also, mostly this increase will happen in every September and that become a practice and NO arrears will be paid effective April 1st. High risk in Job security for senior level and leadership roles. Sometimes we could see our leaders are moving out without any information that creates hopeless situations for the team members. Also, these cons on Job security were latest from August 2024 to until I left in August 2025. before that compensation issue persists from 2022.
