Pros

The company is completely remote and gives flexibility on working timings. But it mandates being available during core working hours from 8:30 PM IST to 10:30 PM IST. Since it is a startup, it's very easy to connect with the leadership team, and they do welcome new ideas.

Cons

It is a very fast-paced environment with no specific culture. They hire very young engineering managers who further ruin the motivation of the employees to work. They play a lot of politics and drama to avoid promotions. For the sake of their personal development, they don't hesitate to risk the lives of good engineers. There is absolutely no job security. An engineer will be fired at any point in time without any prior hints or feedback. So the engineering manager is the one who decides everything. There is zero work-life balance, and no diversity and inclusion are considered.

Advice to Management

Please hire some experienced EMs if you really care for employee wellness.
