Pros

Can’t think of any !

Cons

-Biased Leadership- There are different clans in the entire organisation so the respective followers are favoured over others during promotions & appraisals. Merit is certainly not the criteria. And sadly if you have no support you will be no where and bullied by the biggies. -No job Security- we all know how Girnar has always been in news for layoffs. First they hire then fire. During covid they fired so many employees stating cost impact and the very next month hiring starting happening, ads with actors. Atleast don’t lie to the employees who worked with you for so long. -Horrid culture - well the culture flows from top to bottom. Few business leaders don’t even treat their employees as equals, they shame and bully their own team members. Things are no different in the HR team which should lead in setting the right culture. Infact things are even worse there. -Fudged data & reports made and presented in every team ( Window dressing everywhere) - The HR team lacks spine even now. - Some businesses/ processes start and then shut down coz no one cares to check what’s actually happening on the field. Employees are filling their own pockets with the aid of the dealers. If you raise a voice you are not heard. The ombudsman is far from being fair and just.

Pros

There's hardly anything good here. I can tell you what bad things are NOT here but there's nothing which I consider under pros. - You might have good work life balance, depending on the project you are working upon. - They don't have "you're being watched" type culture. - Politics is less but people working here for couple of years, always get priority over others. No matter what!! - CXOs are easily approachable. Though that hardly makes any difference.

Cons

This gets a big list. If you're coming from a good MNC(as it was with me), the list gets even bigger. Let me start with Tech stuff - - They claim to work on cutting edge technologies but reality is, they are using technologies so badly that in order to fix things, you'll get confused where to start with. Completely immature implementation of any small or big framework for that matter. - Mostly people working here, are working here only since beginning of their career. This includes CTO. They have their small universe. They just can't think of other ways to implement things. You'll even have to fight for obvious things if that differs from how they are doing it. - In my less than 6 months of tenure, I've met multiple people, some of which are from IIT, who are tired of these and have quit/thinking of quitting. - If this was not enough, let me talk about admin/hr. High chances are, you won't get a permanent place to sit. Every day you would need to search for a place to sit. On top of that, the quality of chair is too bad. Most of them are broken. Despite highlighting it multiple times, CXOs could be heard saying, it's the problem of whole office, and not just yours. No sync between departments. - Let's talk about HRs. It took 2 full days for them, to complete onboarding process. 95% time I was idle!! - They have really bad health/life insurance benefits. No health insurance is there for parents. Per family coverage is just 2 lacs, with no option to get more. - I got a broken laptop, to which IT people told me, that I was lucky enough to get it on very first day. BTW I had to reach back to them. within a week as charger stopped working!! - Only reason they are able to survive is, funding. My reason of joining this company was, I wanted to shift to Jaipur and only they could match my current salary. So if that's the case with you as well, i would strongly recommend to look for other options.

Pros

Hustling (considering such a culture and mediocre leadership and still it went on and became a $400Mn company )-,An inspirinrg story to learn how important hustling is..It can be a case study for MBA grads.: -Ping Pong Table,Xbox ,Fuss ball..

Cons

"Favouritism" is spread from Top to Grass roots like a cancer ..I will go through only this which is the root of all evils in this company.. - Top leadership has chosen many mediocre horses (Business heads /Product heads) to run because they are submissive , cheap and/or young or due to nepotism. - Those mediocre B -horses are promoting C class resources to hide their insecurities who can support their poor morale and make them feel emotionally and politically secure.. so you can imagine what kind of culture , usually C class management will bring (Bakchod,Politics and Managing up all the way ).It is carried to all lower levels in similar way..So there is a big "Network of mediocres" supporting each another across org ..If you won't be part of that network..you will have a miserable life here.. -Non Ethical Practices in business - Ad fraud, Software license frauds ,quid-pro-co promotions,affairs, reimbursement failures etc..You name it, Cardekho is doing it already....few of the acquisitions done are bogus..they are just one room companies for PR..Check 'em out in Google
