Pluspunten

1. Free food and drinks. Unlimited Tea/coffee (freshly brewed, no machine). 2. Exceptional Backend Engineers. 3. Nice Work and learning opportunities. 4. Backend people are nice in all the teams, so if you are joining as Backend engineer, you are pretty much in better shape but try to join Platform team. Integration team is also fine but I don't see any learning opportunities there.

Minpunten

1. Mean and stupid managers who will not refrain from making stupid and threatening remarks if you don't work on weekends or join late night meetings. I was personally asked to stretch a few hours at 2:00 AM. BTW I was the first one to start work in Tekion (before 9 AM everyday). 2. 6 days working. Some managers force meetings on Sunday also. 3. Minimum 12 hours per day. Some managers( except Platform Team) do late night (after 10 PM IST or later) sync-ups aka stand-ups to ensure you stretch late. 4. Make sure your prospective team interviews you, especially your reporting manager. Ask about these questions directly and look them in the eye. Come back to this review and mark it helpful. 5. Compensation is great for 40hr/week but not seriously bad for 100hr/week. 6. No training or mentoring what-so-ever. 7. You'll have paid leaves but you will get call almost every-time you take a leave and will be asked to work.

Pluspunten

From the hiring process through onboarding, the experience has been exceptionally streamlined and well organized. Interviews were easy to schedule, communication was clear, and expectations were set early. Once I started, the training structure, system integrations, and support channels were already in place and easy to navigate, which made the transition seamless. The team is strongly aligned around vision and goals, and that alignment shows up in how efficiently projects and collaboration move forward. The benefits package is the best I’ve experienced in my career, which reinforces that the company invests in its people. Overall, there’s a strong sense of innovation and forward thinking, particularly around AI and product development, and it’s clear why Tekion is reshaping the automotive technology space.

Minpunten

As with many fast-growing and innovative companies, priorities can shift quickly, which requires adaptability and comfort with change. The pace can be high in growth-oriented roles, and individuals who thrive here are those who are comfortable moving quickly and adjusting as the company continues to scale.
