Pros
It’s a fast paced environment and good place to network. They surprisingly have good clients. Since, it’s a start-up one could pick up multiple roles and try to learn while on the job. An ideal place for self-starters willing to work long hours. The products are great. They have an excellent UI for their Grant Management System. The salary scale is relatively better than other social sector organisations.
Cons
- The work environment is toxic. There is no mentoring and the leadership has unrealistic expectations. New employees are left on their own to understand a very complex technology. Also, older employees find themselves incapable of handling knowledge transfers due to growing workload. - The tech team is severely understaffed. This makes it difficult for the products to work effectively. There are too many projects and very few people to handle them. The founders are clueless about most projects. They have a tendency to force random jobs on employees lacking subject matter expertise or provide any kind of guidance. - Bullying is a common phenomena at the work place. The upper management especially has no qualms about throwing employees under the bus at client meetings. - The HR is absolutely incompetent. Also, salaries are delayed every month and randomly deducted even for leaves taken during Covid. The upper management is extremely insensitive and not open to any kind of feedback.
