Pros
1. Located in Mumbai 2. A sense of ownership
Cons
1. Tough environment for engineers where individuals lacking relevant qualifications (Product Managers, Sales, Founder himself) are overseeing their work. 2. Lack of a clear product roadmap and specific requirements for projects. 3. Double standard in hiring practices, with engineers, held to a high standard while other departments seem to have lower "hiring" requirements, yet they receive higher compensation. 4. Engineers are tasked with consistent execution, while other teams often engage in unproductive activities and exhibit a tendency to assert authority over engineering tasks. 5. The founder displays favoritism towards PMs/Sales. 6. When an engineer makes a mistake, severe consequences are threatened, whereas errors by others lead to reassignment to different departments. 7. The company has struggled to retain experienced engineers, possibly due to the perception that coding skills are not valued appropriately.
