Pros

Good Environment I would like to say. Good Opportunity to learn, Few leads are really cooperative and Helpful. Food is great, I really appreciate for providing free lunch for everyone. Few Leads are Honest from the heart and they always do extra miles to do what it takes.

Cons

Overall Feedback: This below feedback is observed from my side and I have also spoken to few people about it ,which includes peerly volunteers and few disappointed people who are really suffering form this. This is the reason I’m writing this feedback. It might hurt little bit but I can’t help it. There is noticeable bias among some team members, including certain leads, who seem to support it rather than questioning it. These leads, along with others who encourage this bias, often speak negatively about those who are genuinely dedicating their time, effort, and energy. Come on, everyone—you can do better than this. This behavior feels like office politics. On the other hand, the leads who remain honest in their opinions and decisions are being treated unfairly, often becoming “punching bags” and facing constant questioning. This situation is concerning. Peerly: Peerly is good and can help us make better decisions, but… there’s still bias, which is disappointing. I’m genuinely surprised. Some people who have been here for a long time don’t seem to know what to consider or ignore when gathering feedback. The capability mapping sheet appears to be outdated in some areas. Looking at the web capability mapping, it feels incomplete, like a half-baked chicken. I’m not sure who created this sheet, but it definitely doesn’t seem finished. Looks like peerly if not working properly I can say 50:50. I have given feedback to a few peers and the people who collect it, and I believe they need proper training for this task. They come, show us the laptop, ask us to fill it out, and that’s it—no follow-up questions asked. Some people don’t know how to give feedback, and others don’t know how to take it. Other even if there is feedback they won’t give, Others they won’t discuss the feedback only.many they only focus on negative rather than good feedback they have done so far. What can I say? We are assessing 6 months or a year of someone’s hard work, but the so-called Peerly volunteers don’t truly evaluate that effort. They’ll focus on one bad situation, a failed project, or someone’s story, and keep dragging it through the entire Peerly cycle. And these issues only seem to come up during Peerly, not at other times. Few people are really suffering from this, they are in pressure and Yes they cannot talk about this. If they talk again one more story, again gossip and this will be discussed in next peerly cycle. We are all grown ups and we are not dealing this situation properly. Another one: No proper training, I can see only few people who can train and I can literally count. Looks like we are failing to identify the potentials of others and enabling seriousness of the work how much important it is. Self-management is good thought and somewhat it is working but requires more effort from the individual to adopt it. You cannot force it but we can train. One more last thing: Salary is not upto the Mark. We are not MNC i know but still. I have try to explain what is going on just being outside of the peerly stuff. Just imagine how much going on inside.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At Codewave, we pride ourselves on radical transparency and empathy. We believe that open, candid conversations—without the need for secrecy or anonymity—are essential to our growth. We don’t control who is elected to the Peerly panel, as we have a democratic process where peers are selected every six months. However, we take full responsibility for ensuring the quality of those discussions. To maintain high standards, we will be systematically collecting feedback on panelists' performance. Anyone who scores poorly will lose eligibility to be a panelist or facilitator—regardless of their title, seniority, or stake in the company—until they demonstrate improved capabilities. While formal processes are important, we strongly believe that the most effective way to resolve issues and foster understanding is through direct conversations with the individuals involved. Every team member is encouraged to provide constructive feedback to panelists and facilitators via our Glue app, though we always recommend addressing concerns face-to-face for the best outcomes. We are committed to continuous improvement, with ongoing training on Radical Candor and effective feedback skills. As we transition performance reviews to a digital platform, we aim to minimize biases (such as recency bias) and recognize that some aspects of performance—like dependability and teamwork—are inherently subjective. This approach allows us to grow as individuals and as a company while maintaining a collaborative and supportive culture. Thank you for contributing to this ongoing conversation.
