Though in all probability, what you've already heard is true.
What was the best moment and the worst?
Best moments were early on when we still had fancy lunches at work. Worst moments were working till 7am on Monday mornings after working through the weekend to meet ridiculous deadlines.
If lunches were the best thing or your entire career in a firm, says a lot about the firm. Good that you moved on.
What's your take on the COO, and working with him ?
Not too many good things to say here. Has the company on a leash. Listens to zero inputs and follows through whatever comes down from the CEO. Has been known to fire people at a whim. If you're working with him, it's like you're asked to not have opinions on anything. Treats everyone like garbage.
I remember Gaurav Munjal once for a role at Unacademy and he gave me a strong Lala vibe. I felt he will run the company like lala ki dukan. And it felt like Roman is there to bring them free publicity and connects of IAS officer. Is that true?
Roman is definitely the face and the brand appeal. I didn't work with him much, but I've heard he's checked out. The CEO has no regard for anybody, anything, or any time lines. He's surrounded by a bunch of insufferable YesMen/Women who live in fear of opposing him. Everyone is expendable.
