Pros
Money...!! You have any concern? throw the money on face it will get resolved eventually is the ideology they have.
Cons
1. Pathetic management and Pathetic micromanagement. You won't be allowed to do any work on your own(even if it adds value to the company). 2. You will be forced to work according to the customer's needs. Building a product on behalf of a customer(IDK, how you call this a product-based company?) This is different this is not customer centric. 3. Your works will never be recognized or maximum words you get on your works... 'This is part of your roles and responsibility'. They compare employees like fish vs monkeys and say as a fish, you aren't climbing a tree like monkey. And for a monkey, you can't able to swim underwater like fish. 4. You have no right to voice out against management. If you do, they place you in a state where you can't raise voices. 5. They showcase as they are being a unicorn startup and want to become a world-class company with poor business partners, poor appraisal cycles, unethical work culture, no human empathy, no care towards employee mental health 6. They speak every time about employee benefits but never care about employee work-life balance. They just extract works from you (like sugarcane) as much as they want and leave you nothing except depression and anxiety. Like KGF2, no matter what happens to employees, work should not stop and deadlines should not be breached. You need to race between sun and moon every day 7. You need to work 24*7 in all departments(engineering/sales/marketing/ops). You are a note-worthy/responsible person only if you do works on your leave days. They call it 'Cautiousness/Handling urgency/Customer centric'. 8. Some of the people in upper management are straight demotivating factors. 9. Very unhealthy/exhausting appraisal cycles. They will only tell you the appraisal by June even if they collect all the data by Feb end. 10. Process management - Every team has its own 20 sets of the process(approximately). Every management head who joins changes all the 20 processes at any instant and leaves the company in 3-4 months or changes his vertical. New guys come in place and this change of process continues forever 11. Culture - They will check for product culture fit round for SE/SSE(ic1-2) levels but they hire all service-minded people to upper management and call them stack-holders. 12. If you have 12-15+yrs of exp, you are hired no matter what and given VP immediately. You can impose stuff and order people to work for your needs. 13. They only want to hire world-class people and they set the interview bar at a very high stake. Eventually, no one will fill in the place and all the work needs to be done by the existing same small group of employees. You might need to handle multiple works at once(remember everything is your 'role and responsibility only) 14. If you have the talent to sugarcoat upper management, you can survive along with your skills. If you solely have skills, very difficult to work here 15. They always want every employee to hustle, live in the moment and survive like a cockroach. If people on levels above you makes mistake, they will cement and bury those stuff without even letting anyone know. But, if an employee at SE/SSE makes a mistake, you are solely letting the company down(NEED TO HANDLE VERY CAREFULLY). 16. Last but not least, they even force you to put positive reviews on Glassdoor. Before looking for reviews, check how many reacted to 5-star reviews and poor reviews. Not all people will post fake reviews. They pour these many statements only if they experience the kinds of stuff. PS: HR and Brand Marketing team please do not reply back to this review as its part of your roles and responsibility, please understand the pain points of the employees. HRBP you guys are in the company for the employees not for the management
