Vantaggi

- You might find really smart people to work with but smartness is relative. - There is no explicit hierarchy.

Svantaggi

Having around 2 years of experience at HackerEarth, do believe that the following points are true. You can expect a response to this review from the CTO in which he will basically deny anything said here and that the things are perfectly fine with HE. Its high time for you to get out of your shell Mr. CTO. - No defined career path for engineers - CTO suffers from a complex in which he believes whatever he thinks and whatever decisions he takes are right. He wants to control everything and dip his nose in every affair. - The leadership team is a bunch of amateurs. - People unworthy of being managers are being managers. - CTO being impulsive, immature and inexperienced, most of the engineers in the engineering team believe that its better not to speak up if anything is wrong. - CTO was once was about to be charged by an employee for sexual harassment - The engineering is mediocre. Any efforts to improve or fix things are reverted by CTO because again, he thinks he is always right. - Reviews which say positively about the CTO/CEO are basically brown-nosing. - Having no experienced or senior engineers in the team basically means you will be directionless. - Engineers who literally built the company were/are asked to leave just because CEO/CTO found it hard to work with them.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to write this review & I'm really sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience working with me. It is really unfortunate you didn't have a good experience working at HackerEarth. I've worked so hard to create a company where people are valued and feel empowered to succeed and grow. I'm really sorry that our efforts did not meeting your expectations. On some of the concerns raised, yes we have worked on a career path for engineers and it has been rolled out for most teams recently. Hope that should gives my employees clarity on their career path. With our big ambitious goals laid out for the next few years, I'll admit that sometimes i can become too focused on execution of those goals. I have time and again, asked my team to share their feedback and ensure there is open dialogue , ideas shared are always taken into considered and the right forum is provided for all to share their ideas as well. One thing we do believe in, is to never restrict anyone to their role and encourage employees to come up with new and innovative ideas. Through my 1:1 meetings, team meetings, monthly all hands, team dinners/lunch, informal connects, I am working hard to seek feedback and connect with my employees on a personal level. Yes, there have been exits due to performance issues recently due to which there has been some anxiety around. However, we have addressed all concerns raised by all and am hoping there is no ambiguity around the same anymore. We have a strong team of engineers who work relentlessly and are seen as mentors and go-to people. Having said that, we are in the process of hiring senior engineers and hopefully you would not feel directionless in the future. We do encourage employees to share genuine feedback about HE as an organization and also let us know on areas we need to work on priority. I am thankful you took the time to share your opinion here so that i can reflect on it and think about ways we can make HackerEarth a great place to work in. I genuinely care about this company and hope this response has helped sort some of your concerns. For any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to me anytime and I would be more than happy to help:)

Vantaggi

There is no cons working for this company. It's the worst experience anyone could ever have.

Svantaggi

There are so many cons that it's difficult to list all of them. The CEO likes to roam around and tell others to do work. Absolutely has no skills. The CTO likes to roam around women, gives them stares and call them out regarding their relationship status in their monthly meetings called "All Hand" (which is again a huge waste of time) It's a poor experience overall and would not recommend it to anyone.
