Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to respectfully disagree to this comment. For this is something that we have, and we continue to take a lot of effort to preserve - our culture. Yes, our expectation in terms of work is high. And sometimes we are not able to meet each others expectations, which happens, a mismatch. But our work culture is not toxic. We hope that you are able to find a work environment and space that matches your values and culture.Thank you for being a part of our journey

Pros

1) Nice people to interact with. Colleagues are super helpful if you're new and trying to learn things. Young crowd. 2) Proactive HR. Lots of activities and other things they keep doing for employee well being etc. 3) Standby their values like Diversity and Inclusion 4) Got a new laptop 5) Decent hike on previous salary

Cons

1) Messy work. Mainly because of lack of strategic decision making at the management level. 2) Extremely high attrition rate 3) High workload. Minimum 12 hours of work per day, plus some work on weekends. 4) Very manual work. Things can be automated. 5) I was here for a short time, most clients I worked with were unhappy because we were not able to deliver. This is happening because of point #1. 6) Most teams seemed overworked 7) Process keeps changing a bit too frequently. They keep saying things are getting better, but it doesn't seem so. 8) Not a typical customer success job - 80% of your time will go on marketing and executional tasks 9) Really difficult to take leaves ( I mean you can take a leave, but you'll still end up working, or stressing out). The team is already overworked, so difficult to pass your work onto someone else while you take a leave.

Good learning curve but the hustle culture is very toxic.

Pros

-Good team mates and critics around - Nice learning curve

Cons

- Very toxic hustle culture sometimes, affects mental health - Doesn't really care very much on individual level, only nos. are important - they do provide a mental health help service but doesn't really takes feedbacks on improving the mental health inside company.

It's really sad for us to see this feedback. If whatever you have called out here has happened/ we have made you feel that way, then that is not ok. Please know that we are taking a note of this feedback. Also respecting the fact where you've mentioned that you would like to keep it anonymous. Still opening the channel to talk ,in case you change your mind please.
