Pros
Big promises made by recruitment Great vision and concept Team has great experience in marketplace On surface, all is promising and looks phenomenal. It’s all an elaborate smoke show. Read on.
Cons
Everything; where do I even begin. On my very first day, it was immediately apparent that the promises made during interview were thrown out the window. Saying that the culture is toxic would be doing it a service. It’s far worse. They promote themselves as a diverse and inclusive group who believes in culture. It’s akin to a wolf in sheep’s clothes because they attract people who actually care for those values and once you realize they’re completely fake, you feel trapped because of what you may have given up to work there. It’s a nightmare of a corporate culture and anyone saying anything to the contrary is either lying or is the CEO himself (who is the most self-absorbed disillusioned self-deprecating and dishonest person I’ve ever met). Anyone who’s lasted a year or more there has been either lying to themselves or has something else going on that might prevent them from leaving or being fired without cause. The HR Department (in India) is totally useless and is not respected at all by the CEO. In fact, the CEO respects no one other than himself. If you’re ‘lucky’ enough for him to show up to a scheduled meeting with him (one-on-one or team), he will immediately just take over the whole meeting and continue to publicly call out everyone one by one. This is the pattern that I’ve seen and has caused many to quit abruptly. In fact I calculated that his no show rate to meetings he’s expected in exceeds 80%. That’s for real. The CEO is by far the most dishonest and arrogant person I’ve ever encountered. He gives slime a new meaning. After dealing with him as I have, you wonder how anyone can expect to do business with someone who’s bound to have destroyed their name in the industry and it makes you question if this company is in it for the long haul or if the CEO is looking for a quick opportunity to cash out. Either way, I can assure you that you’re not going to be a part of the equation either way, even if equity was promised.
