Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hey folks, we are adding the Company Reviews community today. So here’s a review of the company that I work at: 

Pros: 
People: Grapevine is a small company with good people. 


Cons: 

Career: 
These people screwed up by paying me less and trying to put me on PIP a few weeks ago. But they soon realized it was a huge mistake 

Perks: 
There’s no free meals and no free lattes at work which is a huge let down. They’ve promised free massages in 2025 but that’s too far away for me to count on 

WLB: 
I’m disappointed by the 5 day work policy as I prefer 3 or 4 days only max. 

Interview 
The interview process is long and I think one of the interviewers was smoking during my interview. But I’m not sure about that one. 

Have fun with company reviews folks!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Please share honest reviews about Meesho. I have seen extremely mixed reviews on Grapevine and Glassdoor so not sure if I should join there or not.

Role is in their product team

Also, can anyone shed some light on how they have become profitable with 0 commission while other companies which charge commission as well as a platform fees are not

SnapDeal Review

Heard there are layoffs happening in cashfree in sales product and I think tech also.

Bad scenes :(

Are glassdoor reviews removed by companies when they are on hiring spree?

I don’t know who needs to hear it, but do not blindly trust good glassdoor/ambitionbox/others ratings. In this bad market every company is working well below what their  rating portrays. Now it could be 5/5 in one team but 2/5 in another in general sense. However, now the top to bottom trickle of pressure, politics and such is ensuing. You might think you’re seeing good people in ur next job, reviews are mostly good, work/role looks fine and jump into the company - only to realise that soon good people are being removed or they’re moving.

See if u are not able to get honest feedback from someone in the company or ur new team before u join - be prepared for harsher reality. Like Swiggy was really good 1 year back or more but no longer. So it’s in ur best interest to get the current ground reality before joining somewhere in this economic condition.

PSA: Do not join company based on too good Glassdoor rating

I get a weekly digest of employee reviews for my company, and very often I've observed that the negative ones are deleted(clicking on the 'read more' section gets me to an error page).

Apart from this, slice is actively putting up fake one-line reviews to save their sinking reputation.

Highly unethical on part of slice. I wonder how Glassdoor is even allowing this.
