Freshworks

Work life balance

Free food

Cool office space

Seriously guys, don't waste your time and effort for a company that doesn't care for their old employees. Trust me when I say this. Despite being a consistent top performer in my team "champion" for the last 5 years, I've never had more than a 14% hike despite my CTC being very low and waiting for the promotion for quite a few years.

I've seen an ex-employee who's joined Freshworks again with a 150% rise in CTC. Does that mean are we(old employees) not capable to find a job in another company? What is the gratitude for showing consistent performance and being loyal to the company? I never attended or even thought of attending interviews during my tenure at FW. Looks like we need to switch and join the company again after spending few years in another organization to earn a decent hike. Old employees are being low balled and it hurts. I've updated my Naukri and most of my team members as well. Now I understand why a lot of old employees have quit Freshworks.

There is a large chunk of employees who have been loyal to the company and don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. They are neither promoted, nor given the opportunity to move internally to better roles. Every other week, I see new roles being created or filled by new hires instead of existing employees being promoted. This is not very motivating and will definitely result in a lot of talent leaving the company.

Why are we so biased against our own people?
