Vantaggi

learn how worse a company can treat u, how toxic the management can be.

Svantaggi

If you value sleep, sanity or basic human dignity, please think twice before joining. There is honestly zero job security here. The reasons people get fired are sometimes shocking. Didn’t pick up a call at 3 am? Issue. Said no to working weekends? Issue. Took work from home? Issue. Applied for leave? Sick? Have a personal life? Suddenly you are under “performance observation”. It feels like you are guilty for having a life outside office. The tech stack is a mess and there is no real engineering process. Freshers with little to no experiance push random code to production. Things break all the time and engineers are constantly firefighting instead of building anything meaningful. There is no long term vision, just patch work and quick fixes to somehow survive the week. Product managers behave more like sales people, always trying to convince clients and arguing with engineers. It is a very chaotic enviroment. Most people are burnt out. Boundaries are not respected and neither is personal time. If you actually want to learn properly, grow in your career or even get decent sleep, this is not the place. Serious engineering culture does not exist here. Also dont blindly trust the 4 and 5 star reviews. There is a lot of internal pressure around ratings and pushing positive feedback. The reality inside feels very different from what is projected outside. They position themselves as some advanced AI company, but most of the work feels surface level. It’s more about putting things together quickly rather than building something solid or innovative. There is no real R&D mindset. Compensation is also presented in a very inflated way. CTC includes bonuses, food and cab costs to make the number look attractive. In reality the fixed pay is average or below average. Bonuses and hikes get delayed and clarity is missing. It all feels like accounting jugad. With the current way of working, i honestly dont know how sustainable this is long term. even if you are okay with instability, burnout and no work life balance there are definitely better places where you can actually learn and grow so stay away from this toxis comapny

Vantaggi

[All good reviews are not fake :)] The company deserves a fair feedback - not one that is given by emotional individuals who were let go due their low performance and somehow think that they know how to run a company. Service Based Company- The productization is approaching other B2B firms - think Innovacer, Atlassian, Sevicenow (cannot compare to biggies like Microsoft). This is coming from someone who has worked for a B2B firm in the past. Off course there is techdebt, what do you expect from a mid sized startup. Try working for Musigma and TCS - you will know what services is. Bonuses and Appraisal- One of the few companies where the CEO actually mentions the reason for delay and when it will be disbursed. The priority of disbursement is given to the junior employees. (what does this tell about "the CEO favoring the inner circle" comment). Its a bloodbath in tech where its a blessing to just have a job (forget bonuses and all those fancy things), Its not 2021 era when companies were dependent on product, engineering or data science. Sinking Customer Base- Ignorant bashing - Check with your colleagues/seniors about the recent government contract, new products being implemented Long Term Vision- This is usually the funniest remark coming for someone who doesnt understand this term or dont know what to complain about. Go do some old school research where US healthcare is headed towards. Leadership Masterclass- Hired the Binny Bansal of healthcare. The dude is a veteran and is going to take this firm places (maybe IPO? who knows). Clear differentiator from other firms in the same space. If you have stocks hold tight, if you are a new joiner try to negotiate for some. Toxic Work- This is a mixed bag. Dont deny some hotspots of bad leadership (covered in Cons) but also the fact that low performers who are inefficient complain about working more.

Svantaggi

Actual Cons- Leadership (Onshore) disconnected - Some hotpsots (in some products, work areas) due to missing middle management or bad leadership presence. There is a deeper reason for this problem- The company is a run by a solopreneur unlike typical US-India model of one business co founder in US and a tech co founder in India. The company has been slow in taking action on them. Good thing is that the eventually get uncovered (across functions). They are either let go or leave. Nepotism/Favorism (limited)- Suck it up and live with it because this is real world. Some of it is present everywhere. (you scratch my back I scratch yours?)

Vantaggi

While the compensation is competitive and amenities are good, HiLabs’ greatest strength lies in its team of hardworking and extremely dedicated young talent. It’s such an impressive group of people collected here, and each one contributes to that spirit of collaboration and group effort that makes this company what it is. Opportunities for growth are there, execs are accessible, and benefits are good, but it’s the boots on the ground that make all the difference. You’d have a hard time finding better work ethic anywhere.

Svantaggi

It is no doubt a start-up culture, so while I might enjoy the hustle and bustle of it all, I know that isn’t everyone’s bag.
