Pros

There are better companies than this. . nothing as such

Cons

At Freshworks, cultural diversity seems to be primarily focused in Chennai, where they celebrate Madras day. However, it's important to note that they may not be fully aware that Kannada Rajyotsava holds significant pride among Bangaloreans in the vicinity of Bengaluru. The company's recruitment pattern appears to lean towards a biased approach, with fewer opportunities for hiring Bangaloreans, thus perpetuating this imbalance.

This leads to a lack of recognition for those outside of Chennai. For instance, a highly skilled candidate I personally recommended underwent an extensive and rigorous interview process spanning three consecutive weeks, only to be declined by the recruiter without any substantive feedback. It's crucial for fair treatment to be extended to all individuals, irrespective of their location.

Advice to Management

Be fair to everyone and every region.
