JOB PERKS
###############
We have an extremely fun filled, chilled out, yet demanding work
environment. As an employer, our objective is to provide you with
anything
and everything, that is within our reach and you need to become the
best-in-class at what you are supposed to do.
Common perks:
- Free food - breakfast, lunch, dinner
- A bed to bunk (if required)
- Eat-what-you-hunt - intrapreneural culture
- Contribute to open source
- Books, software, hardware, conferences, training or anything else that
moves us forward professionally - Connections to pros in your domain to network and seek advice
- Are you doing any work that is not worth your time? E.g. Laundry,
delivery, mobile recharge, grocery shopping, etc. Tell us and we will
try
our best to reduce these impediments for you so you can focus on what
matters. - Want to chill post office hours or on weekends? Our office is in one
of
Mumbai’s nicest localities, 5 minutes walking from Juhu beach, Hare
Krishna
Temple, PVR Cinemas, Pubs, Coffee Shops, one of Mumbai’s oldest ice
cream
parlour and Malls.
Perks specific to you:
- Our data engineer was processing a lot of data but his laptop could
not
handle the load. So we bought him a Mac Mini Server with 16GB RAM. - We also try our best to accomodate cultural / religious preferences or
needs.
Hence, exact list of perks varies from case to case.
The bad part:
- If you are not a geek at heart, you will find it tough to survive.
- You start working really hard. We are consumed by our work and pretty
much are always thinking about it. - You will have two families to think about. We eat together, party
together, chill together, attend music festivals together or run
marathons
together. - We expect you to master ONE thing for starters. We do not like
generalists. We need people who can say I-am-the-best-at-what-I-do. - Take initiative, be responsible and take ownership of what you do. No
spoon feeding and no 9-to-6. - You do not take random leaves every month. We simply do not like the
“I m
not well every fortnight” variety. - You will find a new love - entrepreneurship. It will make everything
else
less extra-ordinary. We give you a lot of responsibilities. It can be
very
demanding.
