Pros

Honestly? Not much. They do manage to hire talented people—though they rarely listen to them.

Cons

Arrogant, Cocky, and Abusive Founders: They’re out of their depth, make hasty decisions, and blame everyone else when things go south. Poor Decision-Making: Management relies on guesswork rather than data or evidence, and they’ve trashed high-value assets through sheer recklessness. Eg Ryn, CA (See the track record of apps post acquisition, info on Play Store) Micromanagement Overload: Expect to justify every breath you take. There’s no autonomy—both the ends and the means are forced on you. Data Manipulation: They’ve been known to forge data and deliverables for clients in their service business. Honesty clearly isn’t a priority. Pay and Exit Nightmares: They’ll delay your full-and-final settlement for months (sometimes half a year!), only coughing up when legal threats appear. Blame Games and Scapegoating: Zero accountability from the top, but plenty of finger-pointing for the rest. Immaturity and Pettiness: There’s a real “my way or the highway” culture—if you question leadership, they settle scores in underhanded ways.

Been working here for 4+ years now - very meritocratic organisation - if you take responsibility and deliver - they not only promote you but also make you part of the bonus pool!

Cons

its fast paced which is not for people who are relaxed about timelines!
