Vantaggi

Pros Only 6 working days so you get 1 day off each week Salary gets credited by the 1st of next month

Svantaggi

Cons 1. No leave policy. The company has 0 leaves and you are judged if you take a single day off. You only get Sundays off and some mandatory public holidays 2. Strict entry time at 10:30 AM but no exit time. You are expected to work at least 12 hours a day. Number of hours is more important than the output. 3. Funds shortage as the company has limited funds left only to survive 4 months so the anger of not being able to raise funds is taken out on employees 4. Bizzare firing policy. If employees don't behave in line as per the diktats of the core group they get fired. 5. Worst policy is surveillance. The core team keeps tabs on who comes in at what time, who all talk to each other and report all to the CEO. Description They take a lot of decisions on hunch. They started going back on the promises made to the customers as well as employees just to save a few bucks. They fired a lot of employees in the past and promised good severance pay but in the end they didn't even give them a proper notice period salary. If you are a Yes man, you survive and you can even get in the good books of the Core group which currently has 3 people who are here only because they share lies and give misleading information about a failed product which they have tried to launch many times. The CEO is a school boy who throws tantrums if you don't wish him on birthdays or if you send him an email after a bit of delay. He speaks incessantly in all meetings and town halls and is a poor listener. He lacks sensitivity and always keeps giving contradictory statements and taunts everyone. Overall the CEO and 3 other people call the shots on everything and to have a good time you just need to say yes to everything they ask. If you are someone who is not looking for an independent working environment and loves politics, this is a great place to be. If you are a good performing employee, you will get frustrated soon and resign within a few months and if you are an average employee, the core group will get insecure and create a fake environment to get you fired without even 2 months of severance pay. The attrition rate here is more than 50%. If you are a below average or poor performer, you can thrive as you are not seen as threat by these egomaniacal core group who poke their noses in every single thing and have not contributed anything so far, all you need to do is say yes to everything the CEO asks and these 3 people ask and come to office in time and pass time for 12  hours, even if you don't have anything to work. The CEO and this core group of 3 stay near the office so they go out to their home for lunch and dinner and do a check late at night seeing who all have left and who are still in the office. Overall calling this place toxic would be an understatement.

Vantaggi

Don't think there are many Pros. The problem they're trying to solve is good - but that's about it. You get free lunch and dinner.

Svantaggi

Poor work life balance. No consistent strategy - The leadership esp. CEO keeps changing focus. Few people call the shots and keep saying Yes to the CEO, who keeps changing the focus. Most of these people come from the CEO's past venture. You can't disagree with the leadership or put out an alternate point of view. People are randomly fired citing performance reasons, but a few people who don't perform at all continue to call the shots and stay in the company. Overall culture is not great - People are not recognised for their efforts, they are always made to feel worthless. Many of the 5 star reviews here are fake. Without next round of funding, the company is in a dangerous position. But investors don't care about these things and whether a company is well run or not, most likely they will raise funding based on past history of CEO.

Vantaggi

You definitely wear a lot of hats and are expected to juggle many things, but you'll learn to be resourceful and quick on your feet.

Svantaggi

A ton of micromanagement from the higher-ups. Did not live up to the expectation of what an internship should have been. There's a lot of autonomy and figuring things out on your own, but not a lot of guidance proper support, and resources to succeed.
