Pros

Flexible Timings As long as i was there , I believe even that would have changed.

Cons

If you want to join because they are paying you good bucks!! do it only if you want to use it as temporary step. Don't stay long believe me its not worthy!! If you see positive reviews about this company in India that must be management's strategy to survive. Very Poor Management Quick hire and quick Fire Policies changes on a regular basis(Not Friendly that i promise) Funniest Part- Management changes at regular basis No Values Not open Not Transparent Biggest thing,Its heading South!!!

Pros

Anyone who had worked here for a few weeks wouldn't have Pro to mention here

Cons

It would be a never ending list. But few to mention so that fellow engineer may escape from hell 1) Quick Hire and Quick Fire - they don't think before hiring and they give no reasons for firing 2) No basic courtesy - management behavior is very volatile after hiring and you can sense the difference once you on-boarding is complete 3) No goals - entire IT team works in an adhoc manner due to absence of leadership qualities 4) No corporate culture - You are expected to take orders without any questions. If so you will be framed and screwed for lifetime 5) No ethics - Dummy HR and no one to support employees in case of any grievances

Pros

No Pros for genuine professionals. People are not treated with even a basic courtesy and are considered as mere order takers with no questions or reasoning.

Cons

Surprised to see that I'm the first person to write a review. A bunch more got separated from this company before me. Fastenal IT India is a new company in Bangalore which is operating for last 6+ months and fired more people than the number of months of its existence. Its my fault to join this company as I was invited to the company with lot of expectations. But disappointed to see the real picture on joining the company. Its a very small office with handful of people and tend to get monitored including personal phone calls on mobile. People are treated as dummies and no respect. This is the first MNC that I have come through which has hire and fire policy for no reason. I'm one of the victims and the reason I was asked to leave is that I commute long distance between home and work. If you want to get yourself assessed within a week by managers, you can join this company. I had travelled to Australia, US & UK while employed with my previous employers but have not seen a work place like this. I learn't that I was a backfill for a position which was left by one other employee within short span (less than two months) and he is happily enjoying the work now at Oracle. If I had this knowledge before joining I would have done more ground work before making this fateful decision of joining Fastenal IT India. Even after reading this review you have thoughts of joining this company, please take time to visit the office and check with the existing employees there. My prayers are there for you!!
