Pros
1. Talent v/s role: I joined Multunus as a Business Analyst. Later during the training we discovered that my talent wasn't in Business Analysis but was in People and Culture. Now, I neither had a formal “HR” degree nor experience in the field of People and Culture, but I just had a desire to spread happiness. The faith that the management [quote/unquote] had on me isn't something that you can see everywhere. Now, I am provided with the opportunity, resources and encouragement in learning about science behind happiness and how to improve employee engagement [trust me, employee engagement is more than just bean bags and unlimited snacks at the snack bar]. 2. A strong set of values and principles: Whatever we do at Multunus adheres to the values and principles that are put in place. 3. High quality: One can see premium quality in anything that we do, which is not just limited to the products that we build for the Customers. And, we just don't look at the quality of the products that we build, but are very choosy about the kind of customers that we work with. 4. Open Salary System: Autonomy and transparency has been moved to the next level. Now, not only our salaries are out for everyone to see but also, it is an autonomous system to decide our own compensation. Of course, we have a few guidelines. But again, we have the autonomy to follow those guidelines. 4. Purchase systems: The budgets for purchases are all in the open. We have developed our own product to manage the purchases. 5. Learning and growth: Not only did a lot about people, process, quality… I am also taking a lot of these learnings back into my personal life.
Cons
1. The expectation is very high from each and everyone and it leads to stress every now and then. Multunus is on it’s way to improve this, but the progress is quite slow. 2. People find it very hard to pronounce the name very often. As funny as it sounds, it becomes frustrating more often than not, getting people to pronounce the name Multunus! 3. Ergonomics is not great. 4. Anger management in situations needs improvement. 5. Taking leaves for a long period of time becomes difficult.
