Pros

Nothing good to say about this place.

Cons

If you look through the reviews for the last 1 year, you will find that after every 2-3 bad reviews, which usually criticize the founder/management and work culture, there will be 1-2 good reviews that praise/approve of the founder, and then under ‘cons’ section - justify tight deadlines, micromanagement, hectic work schedule in a subtle manner. Ask yourself this, are employees ever fine with being overworked, underpaid, disorganized, and micromanaged??? This is because these good reviews are all FAKE! They are actually written out by the founder/management and then posted by employees who are usually desperate to please the founder and management. Another red flag? All these good reviews are mostly written by interns or current employees, while the bad reviews are all written by former employees. And now that I have mentioned this, I am sure they are going to come up with different strategies for fake reviews. This should give you an idea of how fake and manipulative the work environment is. The only reason I am writing this review is to warn people so that they don’t make the same mistake as I did. Outline India, is a terrible place to work in! The work culture relies on a crash and burn approach for employees, employees are underpaid, there is no scope for professional growth, and overall, it has a toxic work environment. This is why most people leave every 9 -12 months. All the issues with this place are because of the Founder. Don’t believe all the Fortune 40 under 40, Forbes, and other tags. She is extremely rude, unprofessional, insensitive towards her employees, and has no morals and ethics. Maybe this is why she doesn’t trust her employees and thinks that they all have intentions like her, so she micromanages them. Overall, she is terrible to work for and is only good at manipulating her and her company’s achievements to portray a good picture. I was fooled by the website, blogs and all these strategies, just like her clients are fooled into believing they are paying for good data collection. I actually didn’t find any benefits of working for this organization except, learning to identify what bad workplaces look like, so now hopefully, I can identify these toxic places much more easily and avoid them. If you still want to give it a try, go ahead at the cost of your mental health and professional growth.
