Pros

cab service, free food that's it nothing else is good here

Cons

A massive layoff took place with no clear communication or reasoning, even top performers and long-term employees were let go. The process was rushed, cold, and handled with zero empathy — We were informed over a quick Friday evening call and left completely in shock. Managers, instead of standing by their teams, seemed powerless to question or explain the decisions being made. So coward. Would never want to work with a manger who cannot even stand up for his own team. If you find the HR Team saying that it's one of the great companies to work for- it's a lie. They have forced us to give a 5 star rating in google and glassdoor so that people do not get to know the truth. The Founder doesn't even care about his customers. He has increased the product's price thrice in 1 year for his customers. Like how dumb and greedy you can be. What’s even more concerning is the company’s culture of silencing honest feedback. Employees were encouraged to post positive reviews online, which explains why you might see high ratings — but please don’t be misled by those. It’s heartbreaking to see what was once a good company turn into a sinking ship. If you’re considering joining, please do your research and make an informed choice.

Pros

There are a few perks they may use to suck you into the company. Benefits are free, and you get unlimited PTO. The other sales people on the team are also very friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

Cons

Leadership is horrible. They give no flexibility when it comes to being able to negotiate pricing. They will micromanage everything you do. The CRO they just hired, Wes, knows nothing about what it means to sell ed-tech platforms to schools and districts or anything about the sales cycle. They laid off most of the sales team within 1 day after meeting with the CRO. The decided to keep the top 3 sales people on the US team and the top 3 on the India team. They fired everyone else on the spot. This company only cares about revenue and has no respect for it's employees, their input, or the work they put in. The CEO, Ankit, makes horrible business decisions based on greed and only cares about making more money for himself. He can care less about anyone that works for him no matter how hard they work. If you value job security and want to have room to move up, do not work here. Also, the company doesn't have long before they run it to the ground with the 3 price hikes they made within a years worth of time.

Pros

The leaders that used to work here.

Cons

They fired the great leaders that used to work there. New CS Leader every year. Fired half the sales team recently one day after meeting the CRO (top 3 in US and India stayed). Indian team members work 60+ hours a week, with meetings at 11:00pm being normal.
