Pros

Food is nice Learn about different business functions

Cons

-UNCERTAINTY: A LOT OF PEOPLE GET FIRED with no remorse and without proper cause. Worst place to plan a career - the TEAM STRUCTURE CONSTANTLY CHANGES and results are expected immediately. Your job description and role can change any time without your consent - EXTREMELY TOXIC in every way ! There's a lot of unhealthy competition and a lot of company politics- The culture forces people to bring each other down. There are no consequences for poor treatment of employees by leads and the wrong people are punished. It is very mentally taxing - There is A LOT of MICROMANAGEMENT and negative pressure with constant threat of being fired and unfairly being put on PIP -EXPLOITATIVE :They hire people on short term contracts ! Most people are hired as trainees and after working under immense pressure their contracts are not renewed - NO WORK LIFE BALANCE: expected to work late nights and weekends with last minute notice : no overtime pay or or taking an extra day as stated in the contract - They don't recognize people who work the hardest. It's mostly about personal relationships *Take 5 star reviews with a grain of salt*

Your feedback is accepted and heard! For sure we never meant to create any type of toxic environment or to create unfair performance rules. Our Performance Flow is set based on realistic targets that envision completeness and achievements per any kwaran responsible for. A proper project management is required in order to gurantee success and it may lead to a confusion with Micromanagement. We understand the frustration and we have been improving our training sessions and communication skills to avoid this misunderstanding. The changes we face in the company generally is a need to adapt on external demands, specially with market turn around and macro economic situations.

Pros

Breakfast and lunch are provided at the quiet and nice office. There's flexibility to work from home some days.

Cons

I witnessed the management call the police on a relatively new, largely untrained colleague for a mistake he made on the platform. The company has no room for making mistakes and has no internal dispute resolution mechanisms. The colleague was fired on the spot and denied his final dues, despite the police dismissing the case for lack of merit. This is greatly concerning to me. Micro-management and suspicion of staff are also on the rise, and on top of that, there are too many one-on-ones and work review meetings and weekly reports for each staff to write and present. Management and founders act friendly but are constantly fault-finding. Staff have to always walk on eggshells and act right when management is watching. An introverted personality is generally viewed as suspicious, so all introverts have to pretend and force themselves to be active at office events, which is exhausting. This is despite the company priding itself in being an inclusive employer.

Pros

None, I experienced too much unfair treatment cannot think of any

Cons

So many gosh! First of all, no recognisition for a job well done, constant threats to get fired without proper structure or warning to improve ones performance. -Salary raises based on how well you know or interact with management.- -Burn rate just done on powerpoint presentations and not actioned. They subject this to individuals, you are always on edge over getting fired because of the threats. You can never settle on a task because the next moment boom!! strategy change.
