Pros

Remote work is the only pro. Trust me they provide remote work so they can do the micromanagement without facing the employees Face to face.

Cons

They have many but let me share the top 5 of them. 1) They have no structure w.r.t processes in place they say they have it but it doesn't exist. The sales Head keeps nagging about it but they are confused amongst themselves. 2)Business leads don't have any clue about the GTM, they don't even understand basic tools for Sales. 3) Micro micromanagement is at its peak, they ping you on Saturdays and on holidays as well. Wish I can share the Slack channel screenshot. 4)The Sales lead needs to see a doctor. You guys might have seen the HDFC bank debacle picture happening to every team member daily basis. 5) After hiring you they expect you to generate revenue from the very next day. No understanding of Sales Cycle and funnel management. 6) They will Fire you without giving you any notice and without any severance package. 7) HR starts discussing laws and pointers that you might have signed unintentionally. She works like she is in a TV series :) 8) All of the team members in the Sales team are suffering over there they are stuck somehow because of the sugar-coated HR and Sales Head. P.S.: Sorry for extending the pointers but they know they deserve this.

We have carefully reviewed your feedback on Glassdoor, and we feel compelled to address the inaccuracies and misrepresentations in your review. While we appreciate your acknowledgment of remote work as a positive aspect of our company, it's essential to correct some of the false statements you made. Firstly, our company places a significant emphasis on structured processes to ensure a smooth workflow. We take pride in our well-defined procedures, which have been instrumental in our success. Regarding the GTM (Go-to-Market) strategy, it is extensively communicated and understood by our business leads. We invest substantial resources in training and empowering our sales team to excel in their roles. Your claim that they lack basic tools and comprehension is entirely unfounded. As for your complaint about micromanagement, it's important to note that accountability and teamwork are critical aspects of any successful organization. Our expectations of timely responses, especially during business hours, are not unreasonable. Your lack of communication and unavailability for calls with customers and the team demonstrated a lack of professionalism and commitment to the role. Let us clarify the situation leading to your termination. You were given repeated warnings and support from multiple levels of management, including the CEO, to address your work ethics and performance issues. Despite these efforts, your conduct did not improve, leaving us with no choice but to part ways. Regarding your claim about "firing without notice" and "no severance package," it's essential to be truthful. We adhere strictly to legal requirements, and proper procedures are followed in all termination cases. Severance packages are offered based on the individual's circumstances and adherence to company policies. We take all feedback seriously and have actively worked to improve our work environment based on constructive criticism. However, your review lacks any constructive elements and instead seems motivated by bitterness and a desire to disparage our organization. In conclusion, we regret that your experience with us did not align with your expectations. We would like to remind you that professionalism, accountability, and a positive attitude are crucial attributes in any workplace. We wish you the best in your future endeavors, and we hope you find an environment that better suits your expectations.
