Real-time Fintech experience overshadowed by toxic culture
Pros
Join it if you wish to have real-time Fintech experience. Rest, nothing is special, the company launches and shelves products all the time.
Cons
It is a long list, but I'll encapsulate it. The senior most authority is absolutely tone deaf. The whole firm works on fear-driven principles devised by the CEO. Your performance will take a back-seat and you'd be in the red zone if for any god forsaken reason you land in the bad books of the stakeholders. You'd be put on PiP for any laughable/false reason. Forget about redressal from the HRs (Varsha) as they're as good as talking to a brick. Don't think of discussing it with the Chief of Staff as either he won't be able to cater to you or would be straight-up siding with the stakeholders leaving you in the lurch. The biasedness from the newly anointed CTO is extreme. They've laid off multiple leaders recently just because the product they launched didn't fair well in the market. Also, there'd be ZERO heed pay to you grievances as the company is chasing profitability at this point, putting behind the welfare of the employees. The appraisal cycles are super-prejudiced as well.
