Complete advantage over COVID Situation - Senior Software Engineer Bizongo Employee Review

Dear employee of Bizongo, I have read the review and would like to address your concern. It would be nice if you can write to me directly, and I would surely help you get more clarity on the points which are raised. To correct a few beliefs - Bizongo took a stand in March for not laying off any employees, while all startups were pushed for laying off people due to the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak. This does put some pressure on the company and I am sure as an employee you would appreciate that you would not like to see yourself or fellow colleagues in a state of unemployment. The temporary salary cut of 3 months has reduced a short term issue but given us a bigger relief to retain employment for all. We do agree to your sentiment of salary reduction, but please understand it's a temporary pain. Regarding your comment on Bonus. It's about a 12-month performance of an employee. I would support you to have a conversation with your manager and understand where was the performance lacking. What made them rate you lesser than what you expected. This is a very subjective call, and at times can be tough if you are not clear. The conversation will help more than reviews at this sensitive time. Bizongo has a very open culture and has an employee-first approach to solving issues. We have built clear OKR methods of performance assessment and are reviewed quarterly. We are also building a lot of employees to leadership engagement plans to be more transparent on the future roadmap. Please feel free to write to me, and can assure confidentiality to solve your concerns. On Behalf of Bizongo Kaushal Pawar People Success
