Job offer from Unacademy

Should Google once.

Don’t join any edtech company

Pay rates are good but work environment is slow and toxic. Slow meaning approvals are slow+ senior managers are slow.
Btw 2 Cofounder might have quit, news will come out in December.
One of HRs also quit &there's hardly anyone in office.
You'll have no increment or growth here if you aren't a senior manager ka chamcha. No work metrics hence no proper promotions either. A lot of other issues too.

Literally every discussion here about them has been negative so wait for someone who works there to answer.

It depends on where you are coming from. If you could give more details about your experience, it would be better.

In general, the work culture does not have a good reputation. However, IMO this is if you compare it to how it was before. The culture has deteriorated a lot compared to how it was even a year back, but its not necessarily bad, especially compared to other startups. I would say a lot depends on your manager and team. There are definitely bad people in power there, but as long as you dont report to one of them, your experience can still be decent. I had a good manager, and hence I didn't suffer very much. The hours can be long though. And a lot of decisions are taken at the top and you wont have any say in them, which can be frustrating. The top can also be very disrespectful and dealing with them can be a very unpleasant experience. But again, this depends on your role and team. If you're dealing directly with the top, I personally would avoid it, but your mileage may vary. At present, the only motivation to work there would be money. And whether their offer is good enough depends on you, your role and your experience. Depending on your background, you may or may not learn new things. If your're passionate about Edtech, or you want a career in it, it can be a decent experience.

Also, the "top" refers to one particular person.

I received a low ball offer from Unacademy mentioning their plans to IPO and what they could offer. I asked a few people about joining, but none of them suggested that I should. The decision is up to you.

No

Reject. Run in opposite direction

No

EdTech is neither Ed nor Tech. Plus, if you read up on GM and Unacademy you will know that you can be disposed off in a second.
