A value driven start up

Pros

Working in a start up is always fun.. The uncertainties, new learning, no boredom days make it an exciting work place. But there is one thing which most start ups are not known for.. their belief in value system. This is where HackerEarth is unique. While it offers all the fun of a start up culture; it also embraces a strong pro people culture. Belief in transparency - Most of the employees are aware of the business health of the organisation. The founders abreast the entire team monthly on how the company is progressing The decision making is collaborative and objective Every employee's opinion is heard.

Cons

Under-performing legacy products/businesses are a bottleneck for companies growth. Though the company has shed some of the old businesses/products but it needs to do a clinical job of it.

Thanks for the feedback. Your point about under-performing legacy products is noted and we are actively working towards to move away. Owing to the size of the business it will take some time but I feel the next FY will be much more aligned.

Pros

-Work culture is one amongst the best - Lot of connect sessions for employees with CEO/CTO ensures that you are always heard - CEO Sachin is a true inspiration to work with. He is just so graciously intelligent and compassionate even at the worst of business months. A true gem of a person- Personally and Professionally. CTO Vivek is very humble helper. He applied himself even on smallest of technical glitches and follows up till the time it is fixed. - Pantry is always filled with best of snacks, juices, confectionaries, tea, coffee and what not. Company ensures that everyone feels at ease and at home. - There is nothing that doesn't get celebrated here. Birthdays, Exits, Joining, Work Anniversaries, Festivals of all faiths, occasional pot lucks, team outings, team lunch, etc etc etc - Appraisals are punctual without any delay. Its very data centered and leaves an employee with clear picture of what to expect.

Cons

- Sometimes the amenities provided to staff like foozball, TT, Sleeping bean bags etc are actually a distraction for employees - Salary structure could be improved marginally. Not very bad though.
