Pros

- The product idea is good and relatively new. But there are plenty of competitors already in the market. - Nice office space, good lighting. - Office has employed a cook and all get 3-time food for free. - There are lots of books available at the office.

Cons

- Worst top-down and management culture with dictatorship. The management doesn't value other colleagues much. They treat people like resources rather than humans. - Team has iterated the same feature 3 times and not yet release the product to the users, and the focus is mostly on experimenting with different stacks and techs, rather than focusing on product-market fit. - CEO is first time co-founder, he likes to sit in a closed cabin and take care of his investments. Always preach about frugal concepts and do the opposite. like buying a car for him because his family is pushing to get married. - The company is located in Jayanagar, Bangalore. The office building and the stay are in the same building where the CTO also lives. Your company pays the rent to CTO and you pay the rent to CTO. It was really a good way to make passive income from your own company. - I was appointed in the leadership but all my decisions were disrespectfully ignored and altered to their personal benefit. - No work-life balance. Your work is your life here. - The entire founding team is gone because of the behaviour of the cofounders and how they treat their employees.
