Avoid this company. It does not share its good fortune with its employees

Pros

Used to have a good WFH policy, but with Covid, other companies also have decent WFH policies now.

Cons
  • Frozen pay (no salary increments). HR lies when it says they do quarterly reviews and uses these reviews only to fire people.

  • Company decided any increase in stock granted to an employee is part of the TC. As the stock is doing well, they have not made salary adjustments for the past few years. This is unlike any SV company. The employees who joined in the early stages of the company took a risk on an unproven company; the company is being evasive and untruthful now that the stock is doing well.

Advice to Management

You suck. Treat employees properly, pay them well. Most of them will just cruise and won't achieve their full potential.
