Pros

None, Zero, Zilch, Nada, Nothing.

Cons

The process: Hire folks in a bunch. You think the company is growing rapidly so that might be the reason why they're hiring so many folks. You start working on an engagement, put hours and weeks into it and then its shelved all of a sudden and then you're ousted too citing performance issues. That's how this Kirana Store works. The Company Owner has zero aptitude and knowledge about scaling up an organization. He takes decisions driven by impulse instead of decisions based on logic and reasoning. To create an org like Contlo, just have people in Senior Management who are Individual Contributors at best. You'll have an impulse driven, zero-processes oriented organization like this one. Well. I don't know if it can be continued to call "Contlo" in the coming weeks/ months as they are pivoting towards calling everything as powered by "SuperAGI" which they had been working on for sometime. Another overhyped product of theirs which will fall face down soon. The Sales Team Leader is an individual contributor who doesn't have an iota of knowledge about creating a successful team. Very partial towards a few set of people, he'll close his own deals and ensure the new hires lag way behind. A deliberate attempt to ensure that they are fired in 1 or 2 months time. When you've spent a decade in the D2C sector trying to build brands and failing each time and had to join an org like Contlo, it speaks volumes about your own competency and skills. The HR is a mere puppet. I was fired within 4 weeks of joining and she asked me that "This news shouldn't have come as a surprise considering your performance?" and I said, "Yes, it was a surprise since I only got to know about it 5 minutes ago that I need to leave and no org judges a new hire and their skills within such a short span of time that too without any guidance or help" She stayed there all silent like an mannequin, waiting for that awkward moment of silence to pass after that. Her only and only duty is to send those oft-ignored Slack group announcement messages for cutting a Birthday cake on the floor or reminding everyone to join the all-hands meeting. How is she not speaking up with the ongoing hiring and firing practice that is employed at this org is perplexing and appalling at the same time. She's just another incompetent Senior folk but that's how the entire org is. There would be zero peer learning for any experienced professional (with upwards of 5-6 years of workex) who joins this organization as 90% of the employees here are 2022/2023 graduates. Interns are hired in bunches and grinded to the ground with tons of work load while being paid peanuts and then fired even before their tenure comes to an end for no valid reasons. Just read the last 10 reviews an you'll figure how shambolic the organizational process here is. Stay away and save yourself from the mental torture and trauma.

Pros

Agile, Dynamic, Best learning ground, Founders are visionary. Great compensation. High performers are rewarded well.

Cons

Sometimes we get into war-room mode but now the company has adopted flexible work policy. So work from home helps.

Pros

Maybe if you're into learning how not to run a company, you'll find value here.

Cons

If you're thinking about joining this place, be prepared for one of the most unstable jobs you'll ever have. Job security is basically nonexistent, people are fired left and right, and more than half the staff has been laid off just this year. The sales side is especially grim; compensation is below average, and the tactics they push are not just questionable, but downright desperate. Think constant pestering, spamming prospects with calls, texts, and WhatsApp messages until they block you. The founder, who spends more time belittling employees than actually leading, sets the tone for this toxic culture, and it trickles down fast. Do not join. Take care of your mental health instead
