Pros

- Good growth oppurtunity given that the company is growing well ( just had an excellent quarter given all the fears around US recession ) - Great coworkers. - Work Life Balance is good - We have activities within our teams like Outings/Sports tournaments etc which keep the team bonded

Cons

- Fast Paced - somethings things can change last moment to prioritise business. This is again a side effect of the growth - Some teams have US counterparts which might need working in IST evening hours sometimes

Stay Away: Buyer Beware

Channel manager

Business Outlook

Pros

They worship the founder and treat him as if he had semi-divine status (Is that a good thing?)

Cons

On of the worst sales cultures I have encountered in my entire career. Lots of inexperience coupled with leadership using old school copier methodology. Lot's of changes at the top and continued absentee leadership by the "demi-god owner"
