Pros

I worked there for over two years. The best thing about HackerEarth is that it's actually run by "people." They try to help you meet your personal and professional goals. The culture is young and fun, with lots of appreciation for initiative. Overall, a positive and flexible environment. For a change, the HR, Finance, and Admin teams are all uber helpful.

Cons

:) Nothing really to write here

Each and everyone here plays a critical role in making HackerEarth what it is today and we thank you for being a part of our journey! On the structure of work and responsibilities being unclear, we do suggest you bring this to the notice of your manager/HR and we will ensure that clarity is provided so as for you to have a goal-directed structured approach. Point noted on fair rewards system, we have introduced multiple layers of calibration to ensure the reward system is fair.

Thanks for the feedback and review. It is disheartening to know that we failed to recognize the hard work you put in and we are aware that recognition is one of our most critical areas of improvement. There are many initiatives that we have introduced for improving recognition of employees and we will continue to push forward on those. Clearly your concerns are around being over worked , that led to no work life balance and recognition expected for the hard work you put in did not come your way either. It would really help if you could elaborate more on which team you belonged to and were any of these issues high-lighted to your concerned HR or manager. We definitely set aggressive targets for employees to reach their maximum potential and one thing we do strongly believe in, is to never restrict anyone to their role and you will be given challenging work and there are immense learning opportunities for all at HE. I assure that your feedback will be acted upon and we will put our best efforts to fix anything that is going wrong.

Pros

I have been part of HackerEarth's Journey for the more than 3 years now • HackerEarth's talent is incredibly impressive. Employees are engaged and passionate about their work. There is more of a focus on the team succeeding than individual success. • It's an environment that is extremely challenging that pushes everyone to be their best every day. There is a diverse talent pool @ HackerEarth and this allows every person to learn something new every day. • Freedom of responsibility given to all employees making it very easy to do your job properly and with ownership. • Culture is extraordinary, no yelling allowed, respecting each person comes naturally to all. Open door policy and transparency about the company and ensures there is no ambiguity for all.

Cons

Keeping up pace with what customer & market wants and building solutions / services accordingly will double the pace that we are currently growing. Sometimes we are slow to understand and respond to these market signals and this does puts us behind the race with competition.
