Pros

Seems like an inclusive work environment and certain teams are very vocal and fun to work with. Senior management is empathetic towards the employees. They do not have toxic work culture, no internal politics. Everyone is very transparent with each other. Leave policy is very flexible and they bother employees if you take too many leaves.

Cons

When it comes to career growth I have not really seen employees are being motivated. Most of the employees are active job seekers and can leave the company if they get a good salary, benefits, and position. Senior management is never really open to change(according to the market situation). I don't really feel passionate about the organization. The company started in 2012 and since then the kind of processes, structure internal teams have are way below the standards of any new age/early-stage start-ups. Existing employees of the company talk about their competitors so passionately and consider their product good.

Great people, vague job descriptions

Pros

The people are understanding. Everyone is open to having conversations and decision making is more or less collaborative. Feeling comfortable with your colleague does not take long even in this WFH scenario. Kudos to the team for achieving this rare feat.

Cons

Reducing manpower, increasing the workload of the rest, and making no changes to the pay seems to be a trend in the organisation. Pay is far below industry standards and job descriptions are well defined but poorly executed. Changes in roles and responsibility seems common as well, but that can be seen in almost all start ups.

Pros

1. Your peers are hardworking, fun, and high on ownership. Will help you stick around until you can't 2. Great place to learn a thing or two if you're just starting out 3. Reasonable autonomy when leading a project

Cons

1. Usually a lot of work with negligible support from your managers 2. Disgracefully low CTCs with abysmal salary hikes 3. The management either doesn't care about the ground-level issues or is too incompetent to implement change. Sometimes it can take as long as 3 years 4. You will probably leave for better pay and position and no matter how important you are to the team, you will not be retained
