Pros

Nothing compared to other companies.

Cons

Compare this company with North Korea. Don’t fall for fake reviews they have made here to fix their reputation on glassdoor. They don’t bring knowledge from outside world but just write similar incomplete internal blogs that encourage you to be a silent worker and force you to read and comment “acknowledged” under them. Managers especially their CEO, are amateurs and deeply overwhelmed by their titles. In the age companies are throwing away the hierarchy structure, they have just recently moved toward that restrictedly and are happy with it. If you reach them accidentally or need help, instead of answering they put too much energy into sending thousands of messages on different slack channels to tell you “don’t slack CEO”, “Don’t DM”, blah blah, and refer you to their internal blog posts regarding this! 😅 They are a bunch of old Iranian friends working together and endorsing each other and 90 percent of their programmers (workers) are Filipinos. If you are a senior developer Aloware is not the right place for you. They don’t have the experience and tools to monitor your work so you will be always judged with “poor performance” even though you know you have been working hardly more than their expectations. This company is heavily micromanaged by its founders. They give you no opportunity to express your ideas and if you share your experience with them or have an opposite opinion, expect a secret judge or get fired soon with no prior notice. If you do something smart which works, CTO and CEO take all the credit for themselves, write blogs, and always promote themselves as the problem solver and congrats each other without mentioning your name. - No job and role security - Variable and sudden decisions - Unusual working hours - No work-life balance - Stressful culture - No vacation leaves - No holidays - No benefits - No respect - No paid overworks - Low salaries

Hi! Thank you for your feedback, please be aware that we will take everything you said into consideration. At Aloware, we like to be thorough so we tend to have a lot of written up processes and procedures in place, and naturally, we want each employee to read and understand those processes. This is to make sure all employees are held to the same set of standards regardless of their title or position. Also, this helps the Operations team tremendously with keeping communication seamless and to avoid misunderstandings further down the road. Since we are a startup company, even our top management is very hands-on with the product and they are very much involved in building shiny new things for the growth of the business. :) If you have any specific suggestions in mind on how to make Aloware a better place to work, please reach out directly to the Operations team. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Pros

The Aloware contact center product on the market, the product is amazing. The in-office sales and marketing team is amazing. Working closely with the CEO (Anoosh) made me ramp up much faster.

Cons

A true startup, if that's not your speed, then this could be a con. I learned it wasn't for me.
