      Great global company with poor local management

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay and can negotiate to top of band in the market. Product is great and will continue to be highly relevant moving forward. Most team members are smart but everyone keeps to themselves and their immediate team. The only reason you would want to work here is so you can earn top dollar, but at the expense of everything else that you would want in a good working environment that other tech companies offer

      Cons

      Culture is becoming toxic and turning into an AWS shop. There's very little regard for employees and managers are mostly incompetent. Immature sales leadership behaviour of beratement, aggression and sarcasm is tolerated. Team members are disengaged and most waiting to cash out once the company goes public

      Toxic work culture

      Technical solutions engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      (1) Base pay is moderate but great paper money through stocks (2)Great amenities like free food , snacks , office space, cab, gym allowance (but you'll have no time and peace of mind to enjoy it )

      Cons

      1) no onboarding - namesake enablement and mentorship .You are on your own from day1 2)Lot of metrics and day to day target - forcing only on quantity and not on quality - only super human can achieve this 3)Many rounds of interview which spans across months to get hired ( includes reference check - might call your existing company colleagues through backdoor without your approvals- offer letter gets released after the reference check- so beware , you might end up losing your existing job as well 😜) (4) Average 15-17 hours of work everyday - and they expect individuals to support on weekends as well (5)Hire and fire policy -favouritism and managers can shout at you anytime if you don't meet their expectations (6) Though they provide enough leaves - you can't avail them (7) It's a pure individual contributor role - no team work, you won't get help from teammates as everyone will be busy with unachievable targets (8) Very toxic and stressful work culture - be prepared to join only if you can forget life and family (9) Please join here only if you just need money and are ok to sacrifice your life and health
