I was making a social reviews platform and they never finished anything and left me with tons of bugs and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing. This company did not do anything good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
STAY AWAY. This is a very unprofessional company. Although they claim to be a CMMI Level 5 company, I highly doubt that claim because they are probably the worst run software development company I have ever dealt with. And most of all, they won’t finish your projects and leave you high and dry. Here are my experiences for two projects I had with them:
1) Low End Developers and Project Managers & Management - They have very LOW END Developers whose English is abysmal. They cannot understand sophisticated algorithms or concepts and have a very hard time understanding basic concepts so they require a ton of hand holding and still get things wrong 3 and 4 times in a row. The project managers were not detail oriented and they never understood USA standards in my opinion and they tried fooling me many times into changing sprint tasks all the time and then removing tasks from previously agreed upon sprints to lessen their workload and demand payment. They told me always that things were “working” good enough even when they were broken. Their standards for what works is not per USA Standards in my opinion.
2) No QA – They claim to charge 20% more for QA but then they don’t do any real QA. They rely on me to do all the QA. For most sprints 80% of things never worked properly and then it was a big fight with them every time to fix things and because it took them 3 and 4 times to fix things properly, they kept fighting and basically asking me to deal with stuff that didn’t work. They always told me they would fix in the next sprint but then never would actually fix anything. All despite our contract stating that all fixes had to be done first before working on the next sprint.
3) Contractual Terms Were Meaningless - The contract I signed with them was very precise yet they never held to the contractual terms. They always kept trying to extract more money from me at every turn. When they had bugs to fix in a sprint every time they refused to finish the sprint and kept demanding payment without finishing and if you didn’t pay, they would hold you hostage by just not doing anything.
4) Sprint Task Deliverables Didn’t Work – Repeatedly about 60-70% of the sprint deliverables they would not even work on and tell me they completed it! Instantly they would send an invoice and they got upset every time I told them how bad their deliverables were.
5) CEO and CTO are unsophisticated – The CEO is Rupinder and CTO is Ganesh. Both are very unsophisticated business people as they refused to sign contract addendums. They said their legal team prevented it. That makes no sense. The CEO is a person in my perspective who is highly sensitive and if anything happens, he cannot even think about work. It took him 2 months just to setup a call and demo with me. No development happened the whole time. Everytime a family member of his had a sickness, he stopped working. The CO and CTO both were not sophisticated enough to read our contract and adhere to the terms.
6) Horrible Communication - Ganesh and RP and the PM’s are so childish that they all stopped communicating with me. They are like a cult and they don’t care about customers at all. The CEO buys these guys cars as a thank you so he gets their loyalty and they do whatever he says so if they say not to correspond with the customer, nobody will.
7) Deadlines & Late Penalties Agreed Upon Mean Nothing – I had very strict timelines and penalties for being late. They never once met a deadline and they never accepted the penalties that they agreed to in writing. This happened 3 times to me where they reneged on the penalties and they were YEARS late and never finished!
8) No Talent – Because of the pandemic, their developers have left them in droves because they can get hired by someone in another country for double or triple their salary and work from home. So they have really almost no developers there to work on projects and a result all their projects are suffering tremendously. This is another reason why they will just move your devs to another project where they can bully customers into paying them or else lose the developers.
Seasia Infotech is the reason why Indian Software development companies are considered horrible. They have all the worst things you could ever have in a development company. A company with a great idea will never get their projects off the ground with them.
Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY!!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was not able to solve anything with the because their developers left in droves and they lied to me for months saying they were working on my project but they never did. Then I saw how little work they did but kept demanding money and when we did code review I received horrible feedback on the code quality. The code had tons of bugs and they never fixed them but kept demanding payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
