Pros
- Ownership culture — you will learn to take real responsibility, even if it comes the hard way.
- Flexible timings. Initially the workload was intense, but it became more manageable over time.
- No micromanagement, and communication was generally decent.
- Good scale of work, though you have to be very responsible.
- You will learn how to ship things fast.
Cons
First of all, there is a very strong "psychological" and "financial" reason behind why this company's team size went from 20 to 2. You will notice a pattern on LinkedIn — almost all previous employees leave within one year.
Sadly, the company is a sinking ship, not a rising star. I heard they used to offer good salary, but they no longer do.
It's not a 4-star company, but it's not a 3-star one either — it falls somewhere in between.
Though this was both the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me. The hard lessons I learned were invaluable, but the mental trauma wasn't worth it.
Would I recommend this company?
To a fresher — maybe, with caution. To an experienced professional — absolutely not.
Cons:
- The founders have a habit of "ignoring" rather than directly saying no.
- Your bosses follow a non-confrontational management style — not in a good way. They avoid difficult conversations instead of addressing issues head-on.
- Very unprofessional people.
- They preach ownership, but there's zero appreciation when things go well.
- If you think you've seen selfish people in your life, you're in for a surprise.
