Pros
1. They have the best in class workstation setup and office and do everything they can to pamper the team. 2. The core team, whatever is left of it, is really smart and one of the best people you will meet. 3. The pay is really good.
Cons
1. All the employee pampering is to cover the hollowness of the founders. While you will hear them vocalize a lot about how employees matter, they only matter till it's convenient. Don't buy into the "this is not a team, it's a family" trap. 2. They give a lot of attention to being a high agency worker. But their definition of high agency is -- you have an end-end say on how you want to do a task, as long as it's what Sanket says. The amount of bottlenecks on Sanket is just insane and unreal for a 3+ year-old company. 3. Sanket doesn't believe in taking care of mental health. He believes that therapy is just a woke people fad. Pretty sure he sees it as a weak people problem. 4. There are a lot of healthy processes set in the company, but they only apply to the employees. The founders are above the company law. 5. Sanket is that typical founder that believes all their business problems will be fixed by more features. At this point, it's just become a bulky product, with Sanket still pushing for new features. The company is user-centric as long as it doesn't require bandwidth, lol. 6. Sanket is basically a man-child. If you decide to join the team, just stay on his good side. 7. Do ask them about their attrition rate. They have churned through one core team already, and the second core team is also almost out. 8. They are struggling to sell their product, and all that pressure is translating to building more features. The core problem is that the founders have completely disconnected themselves from the people and don't listen anymore. They only pretend to care, which is worse than not caring. My advice: Protect your mental health and look for better opportunities.
