Work Culture

For Engineers, By Engineers

NicheSolv founder - Natraj - has 20+ years' experience in the industry. Some NicheSolv engineers were born the year he finished his Master's degree, so he relatively is old. And he still codes (or thinks he does).
Surendra are of similar vintage - but are hands-on.
Therefore, caring & obsessing about good design/code is part of the DNA here.
Engineering and engineers are held in high regard. You will not hear silly HR phrases like 'code coolies'. We believe, being a good 'code coolie' is a non-trivial job, and we're proud of it. :)
You also will not be hearing management jargon such as working the paradigm shift, valuing prepositions, etc.

We are currently a very small team of young people apart from the aforementioned old guys.

We often wish the traffic noises were louder, so our ears are saved from the same 4 songs on the guitar.
Serious arguments happen about who has to 'commute' to the water cooler to fill up the water bottles.
People are giggling/laughing for apparently no reason.
Nobody will be stuck for too long at a problem, unless it's just plain fun to watch. We have 'em all: Studious, Organized, Front Benchers, Back Benchers, Disorganized, and everything in between.
All things you are very proud of - your talents, your dressing style, how organized/disorganized you are - will be used against you for a few laughs.
When a certain employee starts wearing a jacket inside the office, we know he has run out of washed shirts.
A certain enlightened soul wears a single pair of jeans for 6 months - continuously. Then he buys another one.
We hear statements like "... R. D. Burman .... he was an actor, right?"

We have a nice little office that employees are very proud of decorating on our anniversary. You'll have:

We value attitude more than aptitude. We also believe no-experience is better than years of doing stuff without any learning. Clear fundamentals of programming are more valuable than spouting off names of frameworks/languages/buzzwords.
We expect you to be good problem solvers. So, the interview is always a mix of puzzles & programming questions. If you don't have a programming background, it will be puzzle heavy.
Freshers will go through a learning/assessment period which usually lasts between 2-4 months.

We are generous as far as service company salaries go in Bangalore. As far as service companies our size go, we are very, very generous.
