Avantages
Flexible work timings
Good learning experience only if you are the right person at right place.
Inconvénients
Where to start, management is non existent, the company is not foundationally sound, it was just riding on the initial bull run and now that the bull run is faltering all the underlying problems are coming to surface.
To expand on why I mean not foundationally sound
Lack of transparency and communication in every single process.
-No proper feedback loops for employees to register their grievances.
Hiring often done through personal relationships and friendships.
Rampant favouritism practised by managers and importance to people are given based on manager's opinion of the person not on technical ability.
Promotions are given not on the basis of work done or technical ability but on the vibe people give or personal relations with managers/founders.
No proper mechanism for increments or awarding projects.
Complete financial mismanagement on which projects/people/things to invest money in.
Vanity projects introduced which are complete money sink for God knows why.
Couldn't see the writing on the wall that AI is going to force downsize teams still kept on hiring and adding offices.
Marketing team is clueless, and don't even have a faint idea what marketing entails at this scale.
And most importantly they have ammassed a large amount of non working people which they don't downsize for moral grand staging or what I don't know.
Then there's the bunch of freeloader board members that they have introduced who have not brought even a single real project and recieve fat salaries while employee increments are discontinued.
Maybe swapnil has tried to bring some sort of structure and due process to this company, along with the idea of AWS vouchers but it's too little and too late.
Idk I can go on whole day, but I can only see company going downhill unless the management can take some hard decisions and fast.
