How's Darwinbox culture and WLB?
Gone through their Glassdoor pretty mixed but there are people who are there under 1 year all of them citing no WLB and culture issues.

Is Darwin Box a Shit Company?
Gave an interview, had a final round with the founder. The founder asked the reason for changing job, I replied honestly stating it's for WLB (same answer I gave in previous rounds). The founder lost it and started bragging that he was working till 4 AM on a Sunday night and came to the office at 9AM , the next day to attend meetings , he expects the same from his employees and one should not expect WLB in start ups. The hike they were offering was minimal and no esops. Why would anyone join such a Company? Especially when there are no monetary benefits and work seems exploitation?

Indian founders in 2023 are the slave owners. They want all their employees to slog unreasonable hours for meagre pay and no upsides. All founders care is about their own glory and persona, not about running a business with a team of people.
If you are successful by bullying people into overwork with a shit business model, you ain't an entrepreneur, you are still just a bully.

He's probably not lying and you're probably better off in a different company. Startups are not the place for wlb next 1 year.

Darwinbox is not a startup, it is slow and functions like Microsoft, maybe slower than them too

Bruh - first of all the guts you have to admit it was because of WLB - i havent been able to be honest about this in any of my interviews so far. So take a bow - it takes immense strength to admit you deserve better esp in the face of indian work culture. And founder seems like a red flag and quite immature.

Does anyone over here work at Darwinbox? Curious to understand its go-market-strategy. How reliant is the firm on new-age start-ups vs enterprises? Is pricing one of its key USPs (compared to the likes of Workday, Oracle etc.) Thanks in ...

What's a secret from a previous workplace you worked at? 🤫
I know sometimes we refrain from saying too much about our company. But exes can usually be talked about, since there's not much holding back.
Maybe it helps someone else avoid a mistake you did, or gain a new learning :p
Shoot.
