Have heard mixed things about the company. It doesn't have good reviews as seen on Glassdoor, but some people say it is just like any other fast paced startup environment, complete ownership of items and 9-10 hours of work a day.

Wanted to hear your thoughts on it.

Reviews on project44?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I got a call today from their hiring team as I had applied to one of their dev openings a month ago IG. Yet to begin the interview process, but Project44 feels like an absolute ghost company 😅. I can barely find anything about this company, salary insights and what employees feel about working here, let alone find information about the role I'm interviewing for.

Would love to know more about the company from people who work here.

Anyone here working at Project44 ?

So, this company I have an offer from seems great culture wise. I asked some members for red flags and they said its a software they use that tracks them for 8 hours and takes screenshots every 10 minutes. I have no experience working in companies with this implementation earlier. Can anyone shed some light on whether this may be a deal breaker or not? Heard mix responses from current employees that it’s hard to clock 40-42 hours a week and takes away our personal freedom. What are the thoughts?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Folks, need your help in knowing how is the culture at Rippling for,

Work Culture
- WLB
- Mutual Respect
- Office timings
- Your Peers with whom you will work
- Perks and Benefits

Product Culture
- Are PMs responsible for Product Discovery or just do Project Management for Engineers 
- Are PMs given Ownership to make a decision impacting business
- India PMs value to their counterpart US Managers 
- Learning culture for PMs

I know though I have asked many questions, but would appreciate honest answers on this and accordingly will like to take my judgement for their offer in Bangalore office for Product Lead Role.

I went through glassdoor, ambition box and others and only found poor reviews for them but couldn’t find reviews specific to product so your experience sharing these details would help.

How is the company, how is it work there , culture etc. any leads on above?

Any review of Upswing Financial Technologies

Cleared all rounds. Waiting for offer letter. Looked up for employee reviews on Glassdoor and other platforms. Quite a mix of +ves and -ves. Not able to figure out if work culture is good or not. Some even pointed out they force you to work for 14hrs just because they pay you high CTC. I don't wanna be judging based on unverified reviews. If anyone here currently works or have worked at Rubrik in their Frontend Engg team, it would be great to drop some reality here. Don't wanna get stuck in a toxic culture like me last company and regret it everyday with no basic WLB 😅.

What is it like writing at Rubrik as SWE ?

I’ve an offer from Blusmart but wanted to get a gist about the working culture since it matters a lot to me. I left my previous job because of bad work environment.

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

Glassdoor really isn’t a trustworthy platform. Think of it in this way, not many people would post good reviews about anything, be it a product, a service, or a company. Always check the negative reviews, understand whether they sound legit (the legit ones are usually well explained), and speak to ex employees of that organisation/team.  
  
 Also, most good reviews are fake and written by the HR Team. Two of my previous employers used to do it.

Applied through instahyre, got instant message but with lay offs going on and startups taking on VC funding, do you think it's a good place to work? 

In startups I have been people just care about getting it done and not getting it done correctly and pushing shit if it breaks just to get off the hooks.

Is it like this? Which companies are like zerodha in terms of developing stuff while looking at the bigger picture?

How is upstox for developers?

how is the worklife balance? how is the technical leadership and upper management. is it a good company to work for?

One of the old employees dropped a bomb of an e-mail against the entire leadership of PhonePe Mass Offline leadership addressing about mental harassment, hostile comments, threatening to sack, and pushing employees to have no work life balance. This mail was sent to the Founder Sameer Nigam and the HR Head.

Ex Employee shares a mail about workplace culture and toxicity at PhonePe

Respected Sir/Madam, 
 I am writing in regards to the current environment at our (PhonePe) workplace. I believe that there are several factors that could be addressed to create a better environment for employees, and I would like to bring these issues to your attention. 
 First, Our Top Management Leader Mr XYZ, ABC & STU is mentally harassing employees 
 and intimidation are common occurrences in the workplace. This is in the form of hostile comments, threatening to sack, creating undue pressure. It is creating a detrimental effect on employee morale and productivity. 
 Secondly the work-life balance is often out of balance, with long working hours (8:00 am to 10:00 pm and limited opportunities for relaxation or breaks, it is leading to burnout and stress-related illnesses. It is essential that employees are given reasonable working hours and frequent breaks to ensure their physical and mental wellbeing. 
 Fourth, These managers shout at employees on occasions by calling them on calls and asking random questions and harassing. This type of behavior is not conducive to creating a productive environment within the org. It only serves to create an atmosphere of fear and anxiety among employees. It is important that managers treat employees with respect and professionalism at all times. 
 Lastly, to say - Sales is a continuous process and it fluctuates day on day depending upon good and bad weather, political environment, absentism in team etc but managers above and down the line shout only for numbers without recognition for our hard work. This is leading to burnout and discontentment among employees who feel taken advantage of or undervalued. 
 Furthermore these action have had severe consequences in those leaders personnel family relationships, causing irreparable damage of their own life is trying to damage life of others by ruthless behaviour and poor decisions. 
 Finally I have decided to leave the organisation and I hope this will be taken into consideration when creating a p

I got the call for the superstore biz.

How is avataar startup?

Considering joining Velocity (HSR, Bangalore) in the capacity of a product manager but I have read a lot of negative reviews about the company on Glassdoor. I also checked their LI and saw that a lot of employees had left Velocity in less than a year. Can someone give me reviews on -
1) Work culture and WLB
2) Product culture and company strategy 
3) CEO/CTO review (since I'll be working directly with them)
