How was your interview experience in the current biggest edtech giant?

Except my name and designation

Working for one of the leading EdTech platforms. Ever wondered what goes on here or want to know things from the other side AMA and I’ll try answering as much as I can.

As the title says. Have worked close to 10 years now in this industry. Can answer on how sales, marketing and operations work here. Never had visibility on funding etc but have seen the ill effects of toxic VC money

Can someone share what's going on inside unacademy. What new products are they launching. How good is the traction and runway

The Glassdoor reviews are really bad, but I want to know from someone who has worked or knows someone who worked there. Because nowadays Glassdoor has become very irrelevant.

I recently received an offer from Unacademy and I'm curious about whether it's a good company to join. Are the pay rates competitive and how is the work culture?

I was previously working in a startup in a software/IT role. Now, after 3 months of searching for a job, I got an interview from an ed-learning startup in Bengaluru for a business development role. Please give me your takes on this. What would be the pros and cons of taking up this job?

Graphy has forced a 30% salary cut on each employee to achieve profitability this year. This cut will be applicable from February onwards until 7-8 months. Truly a sad time for the Edtech ecosystem.

Do you think that most of the edtechs for College students and professionals just dump a ton of web developers, who have also crammed up DSA. Once, a Scaler sales person called me and we talked for almost an hour. I said that I'm already working in a product company and was making a decent (decent only, not in par with the usual SDE salaries in tier 1 tech companies). He still wanted me to sign up 😂 I said that, I'm willing to sign up only if they have a detailed course on a topic (development using Java, and Kotlin). He said that they do web development only because it's a vetted curriculum and easy to learn and get a job. I asked why do they charge a ton of money while they've made the curriculum public, and the response was that it's for the faculties and the mentors available. It doesn't make sense to me, as we can connect easily with most of the people from any of the companies (and usually a good number of people are just waiting for someone to reach out to them). Where will this end? A ton of web developers who are just there because of the salary? Some says that India is not yet home to good deep tech companies, and I believe that this is the reason for the same. I strongly feel that a good number of the software developers are just there because they got into it without exploring further options, and because of the pay (not everyone)
