Pros

Pros - You'll get a talk show host instead of an actual HR who enlightens you about positivity instead of solving your problem. Also, the Diwali hamper had a birthday cap-like thing since that's what they do - they'll provide lessons on positivity instead of providing any solution to your problem.

Cons

Let me try to enumerate it for you since there are endless numbers of it - 1. The COO is rude, the moment she gets on a call she will state how she is the busiest of the lot and call you stupid for having a legitimate doubt. Oh, and she thinks it's okay to yell at employees a week into their employment for no reason and refuses to apologize ever. Also, if you're a writer be ready to have your copy torn to bits by the COO who thinks she is the only one who can churn out great copies. Also, she can elongate the copies and write an essay out of it, messing up the grammar and spelling but the moment you do it, be ready to be insulted left and right. 2. Your offer letter states that your working hours are from 10-7 or 10-6:30 but everyday something urgent will pop up right after you log out or are about to log out and the managers/SMEs will keep tagging/calling you because they expect your soul for the peanuts they choose to pay. 3. The HR not only thinks it's cool to underpay people with experience but also thinks it's great to act like she is so cool for enlightening everyone with knowledge of positivity when they seek a solution to their problems. 4. Oh and the managers? The entire organization is so disorganized, that every manager will act like they own the place to get their thing done first irrespective of what you're doing or how much you already have on your plate. All in all, be ready to get paid in peanuts and overwork because the managers fail to streamline the process and there's always an urgent client requirement after 7! Also, be ready to face a bunch of rude people every day from 10-7. 5. If they make a perception about a writer, they stick to it! The COO delays the process of Quality Check yet you'll be blamed for slow churn out and oh if that's not the case they'll blame you for low quality and quantity. There's always be a quality vs quantity conflict and if you mess up any, be ready to have a one-on-one with the talk show host. 6. Don't expect overtime allowance from people who pay peanuts for your regular working hours. They won't be paying one bit of the same but will expect undying loyalty from you and will expect you to work 18 hours a day instead of 8. 7. Some of the managers and social media executives don't know how to put in a brief and their excuse for it is "They're not writers" but they're absolutely qualified to quality check a writer's work. 8. When getting hired, to justify the peanuts they pay to even experienced people, HR will state how there will be a lot of training. Don't be fooled, there's at most 1 training of 15 mins you'll find useful to your field of work, and that too by amateurs.

We are sorry that your experience, lasting about 3 months before termination, was less than ideal. No organisation takes pleasure in letting go of an employee, but at times, it becomes a necessary step for both parties to move forward with valuable learnings. We respect your individual, negative thoughts nonetheless. We have always strived to foster a culture of nurturing, collaboration, creativity, and growth, and the challenges encountered during your tenure have been addressed, and we have implemented more stringent hiring and immersion processes. P.S.: The party hats were part of a hamper celebrating our Anniversary, not Diwali. You may have missed a copy check across the goodies in the hamper.

Pros

Remote You work for big clients so great in terms of portfolio building

Cons

The company will drain the life out of you. They have a very robotic system. They expect you finish big tasks in just one day. They don't care how you do it, you just have to do it. I have never seen such a toxic work culture ever. Every employee is unhappy here. No proper onboarding, briefing or handovers done maybe its the lack of accountability from the senior level managers. The whole culture and management system is very unsupportive, If you are planning to work here, get ready to work for 12 hours a day just to finish internal deadlines. The founders don't know how to manage and maintain a healthy system.

Higher-ups need to learn the difference between being straightforward and being disrespectful Professionalism matters Stagnant work with minimal hikes only adds to the frustration.. No PF
