Pros

Pros: I have worked there for almost 11 months and I couldn't find any pros except the salary they were offering me after running after me almost like 1 year begging to join NowPurchase!

Cons

1. Terrible Leadership Team, Missing Empathy, Vision and Ofcourse Intellectuality 2. Terrible Team and Culture inside the Organisation - No Structure, No Perks and Benefits, only lies to make you fool and join the organisation. Don't go for their ESOP offerings you will never get a penny out of it. They will even tell you not to play Table Tennis (the only good thing they have in the office) like you are in School. 3. Terrible Product Vision and Resource Allocation - I have worked with Companies who are Unicorn now, I have helped founders build products which eventually got backed by Sequoia and other top VCs in India. I was used to follow proper structure, roadmap, process while working with those founders. Here at NowPurchase everything is shallow. Your fellow team members are not even that exposure. No Diversity as well in the team in terms of Professional Experience. 4. Egoistic Mentality - People in Leadership team and Management are full of EGO. Their foundation is they are coming from a background of NIPHA Foundry dealing in raw materials and now trying to get into SaaS Product on which they have no freaking idea on what to do. Their Tech Product is running on ZERO Revenue but they will say that they have more than 100 clients cause they have given it for free to everyone, yet unable to monetise it for the past 2 years. What a terrible leadership and management team! NowPurchase is one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Coming from a background of Unicorn and High Valuable Startups, NowPurchase is just terrible place to work. They will make you feel that you are a caged bird eventually when you get into their "System"! If you want to be free and Boundless - never think NowPurchase. There are million other companies in the world, don't waste your time here.

I am the CTO/CPO here at NowPurchase and I would like to take full accountability of this experience and provide clarification. At the crux of it as a leader it is my responsibility to ensure that my reportees have a good experience and go on to do amazing things in life. In that regard there is a clear failure on my end. * It is true that we provide a salary at or above market standards, but only to those who show promise and potential. * It is also true that I pursued him for months for his incredible passion and potential. * He has been great at doing design all his career, but my bet in him taking the helm of product management for the first time in his career did not work out. That poor judgement is solely on me. * This only means that he and I were not a good fit for each other. There are employees who transitioned out of NowPurchase and went on to do very well in their next organization. We treat them with respect and continue to maintain good relationships with them. * As we are growing rapidly we are building structure on the fly, and never on day one. That poses a challenge to those people who thrive in a very well defined and structured enviroment. As a potential hire, you should be aware that you'll have to heavily improvise in this time. * One clear thing is as long as you show up to work and honor your commitments nobody will question what you do with your time. * The vision here is quite simple - the metal manufacturing industry is at a low productivity in India and no entrepreneur/organization is solving it at a meaningful scale. * Our job is to get talent and startups very interested in this sector and start moving the industry forward. In this effort if we make a valuable company, it would be great. * I am extremely proud of my team; they are very fresh in the industry and push their boundaries like no other that I have seen in my career. They are the reason I wake up and come to work - they call out my BS ideas at the drop of a hat! * NIPHA is our sister concern that have their own manufacturing unit - we voraciously learn from them, and even have a full-time mentor from there. That treasure trove of knowledge is what got us so far within 3 years of a pivot. Building something absolutely new and unheard of it in an industry nobody cares of now is going to be difficult and messy. Do join us if you are up for that challenge. We are going to make mistakes on the way, and during this time I can guarantee one thing - for you to call out our mistakes, and have your voice be heard. Regards.

Pros

There are no pros here

Cons

Office culture is very toxic. There is no growth from peers and seniors. The tech team doesn't take the work seriously. The only way you can sustain here is if you are good at buttering the upper management.

Pros

They do pay well Office Interiors are nice

Cons

1. HR of the company is a Joke. There is no HR Policy in place. So the following things happen: a) Leadership thinks like a dictator b) Hardworking employees are exploited c) There is no mechanism for any grievances and it’s redressal Due to this, there is no way you can pinpoint the leadership. The HR will be the first line of defence. 2. Leadership is in Delusion: They still think of themselves as a Tech Based SaaS startup, but truth to be spoken there is no Tech Product developed by them, There is a huge tech team, No one knows what they do and what revenue they generate. However, the CTO thinks that by giving sermons in Team Huddles, he can avoid the questions on his team’s credibility. 3. Do not Fall for ESOPs they are just a trap. Neither you can sell them nor the company buys back those shares, it’s as good as nothing. They have not even told their employees the valuation of their company. 4. The company is too small to have office politics, however the level of politics you will see there is crazy. Everyone just wants to be buttering the leadership and bringing down the hard workers.
