Pros

You'll get to experience a burnout and depression episodes in your life at least once

Cons

1. All the townhall meetings go something like this - "I can't understand head or tails of this business but I want to be rich. So, you need to work hard" 2. CTO is very immature. 3. CEO is very cunning. A manipulative person.

I am really sad to know that you have experienced a burnout and depression episode because of working at HackerEarth. I request you to please speak with me personally and I assure you I will do whatever I can to address your concerns. However, I do request you not to mislead anyone. Though I don't remember everything I have said at All Hands, I know for sure that wasn't a single instance where we implied that we want to be rich so you need to work hard. Yes, we talk about the growth of the company, we talk about being successful but money is not the goal. The objective is to build a business that creates an impact, the objective is to solve a problem, of course money is one of the consequences of doing all of this. I have always been very open and approachable. I urge you to have a conversation, I really want to understand why you felt this way and how we can address this.

Fast paced, no cap, emerging technology and enterprise clients. COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE.

If you enjoy a hypergrowth opportunity, this is for you.

Pros

There is no cons working for this company. It's the worst experience anyone could ever have.

Cons

There are so many cons that it's difficult to list all of them. The CEO likes to roam around and tell others to do work. Absolutely has no skills. The CTO likes to roam around women, gives them stares and call them out regarding their relationship status in their monthly meetings called "All Hand" (which is again a huge waste of time) It's a poor experience overall and would not recommend it to anyone.
