      Tread carefully! Fastenal India (IT Division) is the worst company to join, EVER

      Pros

      This company gave me a chance to come to south India, for which I will be very thankful always

      Cons

      Fastenal is the most pathetic brand to work with, ever. Crappy management, hire and fire situations, no growth, no work culture and worst thing being, they have no respect for people whatsoever. anybody can be thrown out at any time. Join any other company but never join Fastenal IT India, unless you want to have some adventure with your career. Lots of office politics, only those who can do buttering of VP and higher management can survive. Honest workers shall be very disappointed. Any policy can change at any time and to suit the management, no clear data on profits and sharing, which was promised while joining, never got a raise and never got any bonus, because I did my work with utmost conviction and being true to myself and me team. I never did any show off that hey! Look at me I am loud and I am working, so give me a raise, instead I wanted my work to speak for myself, and I was so wrong. I wish I had those vamp like qualities, I could definitely survive here. Please never ever join Fastenal IT India, this is my advise to you. If you do, do it at your own risk and have aback up plan ready.

      A good company to work with.

      Pros

      Work is very much dependent on your team, for some it is good (like mine) and for some it is not that great. The company started a new center in India and initially it was not very stable, the roles were not defined properly, the vision was not clear and in short their were some problems and i guess that explains the couple of negative feedback on this page. 1. Good opportunity to learn new technologies. 2. Culture is good, well i guess they hired few good people in the beginning. 3. A good place to do something new, you will be noticed if you come up with some innovative idea to improve business. ( I am not sure if you will be compensated well for that innovation, because i haven't done anything awesome yet :P ) 4. Good work life balance and a lot of flexibility about your work timings. 5. A small but good pantry with cookies, fruits, bread and other refreshments. 6. Recreation items like TT, dart and all available in playing area.

      Cons

      1. There are some policies which are not very clear ( i understand that this can be a very big problem for many) 2. No cafeteria, you will have to arrange for your own lunch. 3. Office building is pretty small, i think they should (and are planning) to move to a bigger building soon. 4. A little lobbying in hiring and other processes.

      Pros

      Fast paced work environment, they promote from within, they are located all over the US and world so pretty easy to transfer to a new area should you desire. 3 weeks vacation your first full year

      Cons

      Sometimes the stress of sales can get to you. Work hours can seem sorta long sometimes.
