Pros

In the initial few months, I got to learn a lot. The team was very supportive and I enjoyed working with them. It was a good learning environment.

Cons

After the CTO left, there has been a lack of clarity and vision. These days, it feels more like a 9-to-5 job with no career growth. That startup feeling, the excitement — it's missing now. Overall there is also lot of toxicity and cultural issues in the air.

Pros

Nothing good things here to work

Cons

Payment is a serious concern. Despite the tasks being approved, payments are not being released within the agreed timeline. Additionally, some tasks are being rejected after approval, which appears to be due to reluctance to process the payment. Looks like they are doing fraud with the payment
