We understand that you had a bad exit with us, given the 4 back to back reviews you have left on Glassdoor within 2 weeks. We want to share our response, as an anonymous platform requires everyone to voice their side of the story.
Our journey to our current product Hello Play is well described on our website homepage. Like any other start up such as Slack, Twitter etc. we have gone through multiple pivots- from gaming, to game publishing, to social gaming platform. We couldn't be more proud of the journey.
We were pre-revenue for good time, just like any other early stage startup. We are super thrilled to be generating revenue now. Our app Hello Play is now ranked within top grossing 100 on Google Play ‘Social’ category and has healthy ad-revenue generation.
We believe a startup needs highly aligned and performant individuals. Hence we review and give feedback very actively. We have a 4 point color code system - Gold, Blue, Orange and Red. We give ample time for individuals to work on the feedback given. If things don’t improve over months, we decide to part ways and help our team members find new roles in other companies. It might sound unfair to folks who go through it. We understand.
We have a very clearly defined performance review system - we do reviews at least thrice a year. There are so many individuals who have grown tremendously with us.

For new joinees, we have 15-day and 30-day checkpoints for reviews, as we want them to get up to speed in a short time. We hire highly ambitious people who usually fit this structure.
We hope you can get over this and not leave more reviews :)
