Pros

- Remote work is the only benefit. Everyone here is only working here for this singular benefit

Cons

- You can be fired any day, without a reason, no matter how hard you worked, or if your project is a top priority, or you have brought significant growth to the business. If the CEO doesn't like what you are building/proposing (based on his personal opinions), you are fired. - Join only if you can work under the constant fear of getting fired any day - Beware of the lies told during hiring, for example, if you question them on why the glassdoor rating is extremely poor, they will give you one of the below reasons -- We did a round of layoffs, which led to people giving poor reviews. This company lays off people every 2-3 months -- The team you are being hired for is pretty protected and other teams (sales team/content team etc. gets fired due to difficult targets). Truth is, there are tough targets in a lot of companies, but it takes a special kind of evil to earn a rating soo low. -- We were shifting to hiring from India due to high productinvity and better cost, hence the poor ratings are from employees from other countries since they were being let go. This is untrue because the company's behavior has be similar to indians or non indians while firing. - Save yourself from any other lies being told while hiring to justify their poor reviews, and take more time to find better opportunities

Pros

Every minute spent here felt like a harsh lesson. One of the clearest lessons was realizing how much work life balance had been taken for granted.

Cons

. The workloads are brutally excessive and completely draining. . Employees are constantly expected to complete far too much work in far too little time. . Work life balance is treated like a joke and is not respected at any level. . Personal boundaries are routinely ignored with constant pressure to take on more and more work. . The demands feel never ending with no real relief or pause.
