I like the idea of a nap room, but the choice of a bunk bed seems weird. Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't like to nap in the same room as a co-worker.

  I believe this is common practice in hospitals and other places where "nap rooms" are found. If you're actually sleeping, it isn't much of an issue.

  Well yes, I believe it's a cultural thing. In the US and UK, bunk beds might give off an immature/unprofessional vibe but believe me, it's a different story altogether here in India :) Bunk beds help save space too so I guess it's not bad after all.

Is using regular glass for partition walls safe? I hope someone doesn't walk into one hard.
- deswalsujan 12y ago
  There are pitfalls of using glass partitions but the benefits fit in with the work culture like transparency and openness (meaning - encouraging people to reach out to each other with little or no friction involved). Also it helps with having loads of writing space without wasting paper. I should mention that I work here and that another friend did share your concerns too. But I feel the positives outweigh the negatives in this case.

Looking at their jobs page, I'm a bit shocked at how low salaries are in India https://angel.co/adpushup/jobs/ https://angel.co/adpushup/jobs/ 1,000,000.00 INR = 13,985.88 EUR and that's the top rate for the senior JS dev position.

  That is a bit over Rs. 80k per month. That is decent money in India. You can kind of understand the scale if you see that their entire remodeling job cost $14k. In western countries it would be 5x that at least. Their rent on 2k sqft is approx $1.9k (7.6k savings / 4 month) so that gives some scale as well.

  Also, don't forget that its tier-1 city. If you move to tier-2 or 3, you can cut the cost by half(seriously).

How much is the rent on a place like that?
- amalag 12y ago
  They said they "saved" 7.6k which was equivalent to 4 months rent so I think it is $1.9k.

    That's right - INR 115,000 per month (~ $1900 per month).
