Care to comment on what happened? That's a broad generalisation that I know to be untrue.

One of the most toxic people out there. Never hire from Freshworks.

I recently worked at a startup and it was terrible. 

To be honest, I still worked at one of the better ones but it just sucked. 

Some of the clear downsides I see 

- Survival mode leads to chaos. You can be treated anyway and asked to leave whenever  even though you left big opportunities to be here 
- Brand loss to find next job (Big problem)
- Trying to make you feel unworthy(Doesn't bother me but I have seen people lose self confidence)
- Loss of opportunity to build real skills like building sustainable teams for the long run

I think over all working at a startup especially early teams is a losing proposition. Do it only if -
 - you know the founders/team well 
- you know the industry and market well and it is a bet you personally believe in
- you are secure enough in life that if you go back to your job, you will easily get employed 


For middle class kids, startups are the worst bets one can take.

Recently caught up with a friend who works for an “employee friendly” HR tech company. This brand has been boasting about how great they are with the sort of employee benefits they offer. The founder specially keeps boasting about this on LinkedIn and Twitter. 
Found out yesterday, that the employee benefits come at a cost of micro management and a toxic environment at the workplace. Really sad to see the perceptions that the brands create and the reality they offer. 

Would you prefer:
1. Few employee benefits with no micromanagement? Or
2. More employee benefits at the cost of micromanagement?

Number one definitely. 
  
 Is this springworks?

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Basis recent news article and interview of the founder, the company is in talks for external funding. Has the founder money run out, he is also talking about ipo in 2 years.

Operations Manager

Can someone vouch for this?
---------------------------------
Avoid JSW One Platforms Limited at all costs. The company exhibits an abysmal work culture, a toxic environment, and exceptionally poor management. The non-technical CTO Anish Nair, along with ineffective manager Kuldeep Singh and AVP Akrant Rao, contribute to a negative work experience. Together they make it a very unethical, biased and toxic workplace. Despite their deceptive pleasant talk, they exploit employees' efforts, pushing them to work tirelessly while quietly erasing their variable pay and subjecting them to Performance Improvement Plans (PI) without prior discussion or indication, even for those with exceptional performance. This unexpected action comes as a complete shock.

Stanza Living to Crash

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

What the hell is wrong with companies these days? They are trying to take advantage of laid off people!!

I had 2  offers from renowned companies, both of them quoted me numbers and I agreed with. And now, the HR calls me and says since you don’t have a counter offer we can’t offer you that much we promised you earlier.

Well, f*** you. I have competing offers but just got them confirmed over calls. As soon as I get them, I’m gonna kick your offer and never coming back doesn’t matter how much you pay.

And for sure, I am gonna keep you hanging till the very last moment of joining date and then just write a apology mail (which I wouldn’t even mean) saying that sorry I can’t join tomorrow. You get what you deserve.

I deserve better compensation, better people and not just the ones who goes back on their words.

F*** you again!!

F*** you Corporates

How is Freshworks? Why is every other person Ex-freshworks?

Consultant

As title says, I have resigned and my boss who is also the founder of the company has set up a 1:1 session with me. 
I was fed up of him because of his micromanagement and stupid asks. Basically he was just being a person who think if I have paid, I can ask anything from my employees. 

Now,  I wish to tell him all of this in 1:1 and say how he is not at all worthy to run a employee friendly company. 

Do you all think it'll be a good idea? Will it impact me in future in any way? Will my next joining be impacted by this?

Telling Boss how bad he was during Resignation

Don’t do that. Telling him all those things will get you nothing, rather he can screw up your exit, FnF, background verification. Just move on

Did anyone attended Automation testing Interview at Freshworks?

Could you please explain the interview process?

Freshworks Interview- Automation Testing

Software Test - QA

Last month I interviewed with NoBroker for a Demand Servicing Head position. The process went like this:

2 rounds of screening with HR/TA - was okay, good conversations. After which they scheduled an interview with the Business Head for the particular team. This interview went well too. 

After this they sent me an assignment - the longest assignment I've ever worked on as a part of the recruitment process. It asked me to write multiple detailed SOPs for the sales team, build a demand forecast model, and a complete demand generation plan for an oddly specific scenario. They gave me 5 days for it. 

I worked my a** off, desperate to get the job as I've been unemployed for some time. I did the assignment close to perfection - spoke to so many industry folks in real estate and made realistic assumptions, covering all possibilities. 

All in all I've not been so confident about my work ever like I was in this case. I submit and they acknowledge. 

Few days go by, I follow up, only to be given generic delay reasons by HR. Eventually, after more than a week they rejected me. When I requested for feedback on the assignment they completely ghosted me. 

I don't know why I'm sharing this here, but it's been hard. I've been jobless for > 5 months and every such experience completely shatters my already low self esteem further.

Disappointing Interview @ Nobroker

Hang in there, the efforts you made for assignment will help you somewhere in future. Good luck!

Project Manager

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

Why did you resign?

Amount of effort i put and the salary i got was not proportional. 14 hrs to get 30k salary as a fresher. I had understood that I deserve better - thus i moved to get better pay and better wlb (which I got in swiggy)
