Pros
1. Working in a domain with a lot of potential ( Ed-Tech) 2. Two of the founders were technically sound - Good at prototyping, not when it comes to scaling the product though. 3. Very informal setup. 4. Had a good team, although most of them are gone now.
Cons
Short Story about the company - Raised 4.5 million dollars in 2015, didn't use it judiciously, spend a huge chunk on hiring an entire UX team in U.S as well as a CEO, didn't work out ( for many reasons), closed it and all this happened within a span of 5-6 months. Later on, tried the China/ South-east Asia move, which also didn't work out. To compensate for their business incompetency laid off most of the employees in the company reason given no cash to operate and pressure from the investor ( Kaizen). Founders seem to be the only coders running the product now. 1. Can't trust the founders at all, huge trust deficit between them and the employees. Didn't pay the variable pay to the employees even though they worked for the entire year, neither any hike, CEO can't be trusted. 2. Took almost 6 months to pay the final settlement to the fired employees. Still haven't paid the TDS to the government which has been deducted for the year 2017 from employees salary. 3. Their site reflects a lot of incorrect information, people such as CFO and product manager are no longer part of this organization.
