Circles.Life Reviews

Pros

+ Plenty of opportunity to step up, do some of the best work of your career + Company vision & performance is solid, going global in a major way + Founders make an effort to get things right

Cons

- Working level & even middle to top management crunch can be brutal at times - Things move fast so there's a catch-22 where teams must press forward leaving no time to fix long standing problems that would let them move faster or destroy morale less - Day by day pains e.g. tech debt & menial work on non-tech side grind many down, especially some of the best people who get more to do just since they can do more better

Pros

Business model - SAAS: Carving out a category, first in the world - Hyper-growth - Rough waters (a Pro or a Con depending on personal aspirations) Hyper-growth - Huge improvement plans in engineering - Extreme space to learn and contribute Culture - Learning from mistakes is a big thing - Relatively flat vs traditional enterprise/telcos Engineering - Leadership has the capability and posture to move us forward

Cons

- Rough waters is a Pro/Con depending on personal aspirations. Not everyone will be a fit.

Pros

Lots of autonomy if you are driven, the sky is the limit. Plenty of opportunities are out there for grabbing if you can take the lead. Even interns can drive impactful projects.

Cons

A lot of manual work, fire fighting on fixing bugs, lack of strong engineering support.

Pros

Circus life is a great place to learn and grow. You can get a lot of responsibilities at a very short period of time. The company is expanding fast and the new SaaS business has a lot of potential. The new engineering org is great and we are solving some real problems in the Telco world. I'm learning a lot and and I can see there is a lot of opportunity for learning in the near medium and long term.

Cons

This will not be your 9 to 6:00 job but work life balance is respected by the management.

Pros

Everyone is aspirational & no growth and dream is considered too big and impossible

Cons

Too many, contending leads upstairs & does not provide timelines for replacement all the crucial rank and file employees that exit, burning out the remaining full-time resource. Freelancer & intern dependent. Wants big impact but does not put in the budget.

Pros

Mobile bill reimbursement for both employee and dependents Free snacks.

Cons

For most of the people working here think only mobile app is important and everything else is secondary. They call themselves a "digital telco" but they care nothing about being telco and their digital meaning is only mobile app. No recognition for good hard work. Only people who are capable enough to play politics can survive and get recognised. Plans change every month and the company OKR is never aligned with engineering OKR which is ridiculous. They say all green when it comes to showcasing individual department achievements but when it comes to bonus, it's all red for company achievements. They also run a scam called space explorer program which you can become if you are good in politics

Pros

Nothing as such part from free snacks

Cons

No work-life balance. Treat employees as if they are slaves. Ruin your peace of mind. I have done a major mistake in my life that I joined this company. Terrible and double-faced CTO, you should never believe this company. This company hires mostly from countries like India for cheap labour. Indians are so fascinated about working outside of countries like Singapore, the US, UK etc. This company takes advantage of that mindset. Get them in lesser salary and treat them as if they are slaves. Be aware of this company if you ever care about your career. Please don't overlook these negative reviews. I have overlooked them and bearing consequences now.
