Pros

Work-Life balance is good, as there is little work in the product team

Cons

1. Delay in appraisal every year- Early appraisal only given to VP's Favorites 2. Politics from top to bottom. 3.Nothing to learn technically - Still using old tech stack in the product. 4. Hire and fire based on your work- Any day HR can call you and ask you to submits your office things and laptop and ask to leave with 2 months salary. 5. No personal growth 6. Company strength is around 1200 but out of that around 30 people are technical. 7. Have fired around 25% of people in the last 6 months P.S - If you don't have any other options or have any issue, Join on your own risk

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! A 5-star rating after three years carries REAL weight, and it means a great deal to us! Flexible schedules, genuine work-life balance, and regular learning opportunities are things we want to be table stakes at Elevate. Hearing that they're consistently part of your experience tells us we're getting the fundamentals right. The communication gap around case load assignments is a fair flag: even one breakdown in clarity can create unnecessary stress, and that's worth fixing. We're reviewing how assignments are communicated to ensure all Elevaters always have what they need to hit the ground running.

Pros

Contact of work was decent but not particularly challenging. Schedules were unpredictable because of client demands but overall could be managed if one was OK with 12 hour days.

Cons

Celebrate heroism versus day-to-day smooth operation. Made people believe the only way to get recognized was to commit unnatural acts

Thank you for a review that is both generous with the stars and honest about the experience. The distinction you've drawn between celebrating heroism and rewarding consistent, reliable performance is one that gets to the heart of how well meaning recognition cultures can go wrong. That's not the culture we want to build, and your feedback is a useful mirror. We’re examining how recognition and rewards are structured at Elevate to ensure that steady, high-quality contribution is valued as much as crisis response. Your advice to management is noted, and taken seriously.
