Pros

Product Idea Free Lunch ( which may not be applicable now)

Cons

- No Working atmosphere - No planning - Unnecessary pressure - Lack of trust on team - Dictatorship - Dirty politics I have been in this organisation for quite a long period of time and I would not recommend anyone to join this company. Here, in this company, the biggest worry is that management does not trust any employee and will put their thoughts and working style on them. They will put un-necessary pressure without even considering the justification given by them. Higher management is very less supportive and entire environment is very suffocating to work. They will not think about employee's career preferences at all which is very very dangerous. I would strongly suggest, before joining this company just cross check the company's culture from any employees who left this company. You can find the previous employees details from linkedIn. Just call few of them, get the idea and decide on your own. Its very sad that no employee left (or Ousted) in a positive note from this company.

Oust Labs Response

We are a professional organization and have created a team that believes in our vision. Startups have to make continuous adjustments to their product to win. People who come with a fixed mindset have a tough time here or for that matter any startup. For someone who stayed with the organization for long - it is unfortunate that you did not take the responsibility to act and share this directly with the founders and contribute to make the organization better. At Oust, everyone is encouraged to voice their opinions and make the company a great place to work and learn. Btw - Free lunch is still applicable and we have moved to a great office space in Koramangala. We have also attracted great talent that believes in our vision both at the leadership level and at the engineer level. We thank you for your feedback and wish you the best.

Pros

I had good learning and opportunity to have full ownership of the features and the reason behind that were my colleagues who no longer work there.

Cons

They expect everyone to work and finsih everything with inhuman speed and then trash the employee if there was any issue with timeline. They will expect the employees to work overnight as if that's normal. Work pressure is tooo much and there is always a looming threat of being FIRED even after working very hard. Efforts and input given for the company is never appreciated and they will make their employee feel guilty about the leave of absence. The management create a hostile environment where no one can grow!!! There is no professionalism, ethics or humanity. They treat their employees as slaves and they expect you to work as per their convenience and they think it is okay to do so because they are PAYING for it! And did I mention that there is a constant threat of getting FIRED? At the time of the exit they cause a lot of trouble and hold grudge for a long time if things do not go as per their want!!! It wasn't just worst experience.. Oust has been a nightmare! They don't even care about any of their employee's career and they can say or do anything to ruin it if they hold a grudge against you!
