Lack of growth structure

Pros

The people are good. In certain teams like sales, operations etc. the managers are pretty great.

Cons

Does not think about the growth of the individual. The work can get repetitive and the higher management will do nothing about it in spite of being told repeatedly the same. The learning is stunted in non-engineering roles (can't comment on engineering)

Pros

Best place to work for a fresher. Even the top level management employees were easily approachable. During my internship, I could freely speak with CEO, CTO, VPs which I believe is rare in other organizations. Average age of the employees working at hackerearth is around 26-27. So you get to work with like-minded people. They are witnessing an immense growth and I wish the same to continue ahead!!!!!

Cons

In Hackerearth, for market research, they appoint a buddy to the new interns. Buddy is basically a person to whom interns can reach out to for any queries. They are the team leads for a small number of interns. There has to be some sort of selection criteria for that. The criteria should or rather must check the person's leadership qualities. Sometimes the team leads can cause a real nuisance. Their nonchalance towards giving insights to the interns leads to underperformance of the interns and in turn harms the organization. If the other team leads weren't so cooperative, it would've been difficult to survive in hackerearth. There has to be some sort of screening.

There are currently some bandwidth issues but that's a temporary problem and would improve with hiring more people
