Pros
- Works in a niche that actually might help science - Lots of vacancies because of a industry leading employee turnover
Cons
- When you apply to the company, you are taken through several rounds of interview with employees related/unrelated to the role you're applying, just to seem thorough. As a result questions are dumb and repetitive. Co-founder, Swetabh, takes the last round to check Culture Fitment which is non-existent at Elucidata. - Not just teams, but at Elucidata individuals work in silos. New people are not introduced in the system properly, and they just fade into their own silos. As a result teams are disjointed, results are short term and the over arching goal is never met. - The co-founder, Swetabh has frequent mood swings. One moment he will speak to you like a normal person, and the next he would be yelling & abusing at you, and telling your work is meaningless. After which he will return to normal like nothing happened. - Results are considered results only when they are as per the co-founder. Swetabh is one of those kids that sets eyes on a toy without any logic, and unless he gets it, nothing you do matters, he will put on a tantrum in the form of harsh unprofessional words, until you fulfill his wish. - If you do plan to leave, you just up and leave because feedback is non-existent at Elucidata. Neither the HR, nor the founders are interested in what you found was missing, or any points of improvement. They have a rigid mindset of "This is how we are. You don't like it? The leave." - Swetabh not only believes but openly tells everyone that we do not have a culture. Our culture is slogging people. And if someone can't deal with it, they're free to leave. An option every self-respecting talented person exercises. - Do not believe the 4.2 Glassdoor rating as of 22nd July. Have a look at the "Most Recent" Glassdoor reviews, and notice how all of a sudden, there is a barrage of 5 star reviews in a span of 30 days (Jun/Jul), which was otherwise in ruins a few months ago. - The HR team forces existing employees to write 5 star reviews to boost overall Glassdoor rating, which would help put up a good face in front of the investors. As an employee, you will never have a stable team or role. People and tasks will come and go. The only thing permanent will be belittlement by Swetabh, and a mum voice of Abhishek.
