Pluspunten

1. Flexible work-from-home policy: The company allows flexibility for working from home when needed. 2. Coffee available: Coffee is provided, but constant reminders about the cost of coffee and milk make it feel less like a perk. 3. On-time salary: Salaries are paid on time. 4. Friendly colleagues: The team members are generally friendly, supportive, and helpful.

Minpunten

1. Very low salary: The compensation is extremely low compared to industry standards. Interns earn around 8–10k BDT, and even after 6 months the maximum offer for a junior developer role is usually around 15k BDT. 2. Long internship period: The internship lasts 6 months, which feels quite long given the low compensation. 3. Micromanagement: The work environment involves significant micromanagement, which makes it difficult to work independently. 4. Lack of senior developers: The company mainly relies on junior developers and interns. There are very few (if any) experienced senior developers to provide proper guidance or mentorship. 5. No proper code review process: There is essentially no structured code review. The general attitude seems to be “don’t touch it if it works.” 6. High work pressure: Interns are expected to deliver output similar to junior or even mid-level developers. Deadlines are often unrealistic, which leads to working 1–2 extra hours daily. Despite the extra effort, feedback is often negative and appreciation is almost nonexistent. 7. Weekend work expectations: Although not officially mandatory, there is often an expectation that employees will work on weekends as well.

Working at Xgenious has been one of the best experiences of my career. The company offers a friendly, supportive, and growth-focused environment where everyone gets the chance to learn, experiment, and contribute to meaningful projects. One of the things that makes Xgenious special is its leadership. Our CEO is genuinely super cool — humble, inspiring, and always focused on building a positive culture. His attitude sets the tone for the entire company and makes you feel valued from day one.

Minpunten

Noise levels can be high in some areas, making focused work a little challenging.
