Wouldn't recommend joining this company

Pros

1. Office is suitable I guess and other common perks 2. They provide lunch in office

Cons

1. Job security is virtually non-existent as they swiftly hire and fire employees. 2. Enduring constant scrutiny and condescending remarks is a common experience. 3. The notion of a "flat hierarchy" is merely a cover-up for leadership that is both absent and incompetent. 4. Despite claiming that "mistakes are acceptable", they consistently blame and criticize you at every chance. 5. They insult you in the name of feedback, making it advisable to avoid joining as it can significantly diminish your sense of self-worth. It's really not the "best place to work" as they claim. Please stay away at all cost.

Horrible Company

Pros

Good set of benefits that everyone can enjoy. Good salary, the cash specifically is good, equity is bad and has no value for the longest time to come. The folks around, humble and talented.

Cons

This company is run by leaders who micromanage every little thing. They hire great people and then don’t let them do their jobs. Eventually, those people either burn out or quit. Layoffs happen every year, and they’re always called “restructuring.” The recent one in Sales wiped out many good folks. There’s no job security here — people work in fear, always wondering who’s next. The leadership team is completely disconnected from reality. They make terrible business decisions and quickly blame others when things go wrong. They care only about money, not about the people who actually make things happen. Engineering has some really capable folks, but they’re stuck in chaos. Projects are started and shut down randomly. Leaders can’t stick to one direction, and only a handful of “old” employees get any real recognition and are heard.. There’s no flexibility & work-from-home is only for favorites. Everyone else is forced to show up in the office, even when there’s nothing productive to do. In the past few months alone, so many good folks, I would go to an extent to call them industry's best, have left — Engineering Managers, the Head of TA, Sales Leader — basically anyone good has walked away or thinking about it. That says alot about this place. This company looks great from the outside but is a complete mess inside. Don’t fall for the promises — it’s a trap.

Pros

1. The work is fun and challenging 2. Smart coworkers but that might change given recent HR policy changes

Cons

1. Everyday attendance-type reporting at 11AM 2. If you play even zero kaata in office, a co-founder will ping you a passive-aggressive "hi", worst case scenario, you get laid off with, "You don't adhere to our culture" 3. High workload 4. 0 WFH, 5(or more) days in office, no chance of ever working from home despite the lies they tell in the interview 5. Avoid smiling too much in office, the co-founders will think you are happy
