Pros
The culture is open and flat. You can approach anyone without worrying about disturbing the hierarchy. There was no micromanagement (at least in my team) and no toxicity. There are various employee engagement initiatives that HR organises every now and then. You also get generous Diwali gifts and ample opportunities (like Hackathon) to win prizes in intra-organisation events.
Cons
The culture being too open also bleeds into excess, and turns into the fact that people sometimes exhibit borderline unprofessionalism (people get drunk in parties and creep out female colleagues). The lack of a defined code of conduct and the informal tone results in people breaching unsaid etiquettes that one should observe in a workplace. So, if you come from a place of setting boundaries, you might have a hard time adapting. Another con of the too informal work environment is that your growth depends directly on your visibility. So, if you're an introvert who believes in just doing your job well, you will suffer. Lastly, and this is the worst, there is a lot of groupism, favouritism, and internal politics because of the aforementioned culture and the company's small size. What it means is that if someone higher up doesn't like you, you will soon be made a thing of the past. I know for a fact that they laid someone off primarily because a particular team did not like them for a disagreement that happened a year ago. So, to sum up, if you're good at selling yourself professionally and socialising, you'll thrive in Ixigo. But if you're not an extrovert, and if you take a stand about your work, you will be stuck in what's technically a workplace but is really a high school. Oh, and the sex ratio is terrible. While I was there, it had 50 women out of 250 employees. Not a lot of females in upper management positions either. High school plus engineering college, basically.
