Good techs but be careful with management and politics - Anonymous employee Noon Academy Employee Review

Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. While we appreciate both positive feedback and criticisms, I wanted to address some of the points that you have unfairly highlighted. We believe that the essence of building a world-class platform lies in quality. And, our product stands as proof of that. Our Engineers have helped create Noon Academy as a social learning platform that has already surpassed 8 million student users across 8 countries where active students spend 76 mins per day (on an average), 4 days a week on our platform which demonstrate our tech/product quality. Building a world-class product requires a world-class team. Our top 4 leaders in tech, namely the CTO, the Director of Engineering, the Chief Architect and the Sr. Product Manager come from different regions. Our Chief Architect hails from Silicon Valley, with over 12 years of experience under his belt. Another remarkable talent is our Director of Tech, who is an Android expert, with over 10 years spent in this industry and comes with an enriched experience from Paytm. Our values have not been sedimented by management alone. These were articulated and imbibed based on a survey where 70 different employees participated in what makes Noon Academy different from other organisations. Our values have shaped our behaviour (what we exhibit), and our behaviour has resulted in the rituals (what we do). This has happened because we have led a ground-up consolidation of our ways of work. This reflects in our HR processes as well. For example, all our new joiners are personally assessed on cultural and values fit. We pride ourselves on being a people-first company and are thoroughly meritocratic in our approach. Promotions are entirely based on 360-degree reviews conducted by managers, peers and team members. We promote people based on the holistic review and sometimes have decided against it also. This is a true test of meritocratic companies like ours where one does the right thing always and with stringent audit and review processes driving our decisions. We have full trust on our employees that's why Nooners will highlight the great autonomy that they feel working here. Good luck on your future endeavors
