Pros

- Salary on time. - 5 days working. - You should definitely go and check the review of Moneytap. Freo is just a wrapper around it for masking old reviews. - Good in firing employees.

Cons

- Managers lack managerial skills. Instead of motivating team members, they are busy making their lives miserable. - They call themselves a startup but function like a typical 30-year-old service company. - They can terminate your employment at any time, even if your performance is good. - They change their policies according to their convenience, and this can come as a surprise. - All the positive reviews are generated using ChatGPT; anyone can discern this by simply checking the pattern. And yes, they have a team for managing Glassdoor reviews.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your input and will consider it as we continuously try to improve our workplace environment. In additons to some of the cons mentioned, all the reviews written on Glassdoor are authentic, none are synthetically AI generated and we take this with utmost seriousness. Glassdoor as a portal allows employer to manage their page and request employees for their feedback which is a symbol of them caring about their employee welfare. We regret to read that the management fell short in meeting your expectations, we will thrive to do better in the future.If you have any specific suggestions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our HR department.

Pros

A few good and hardworking employees across teams who try their best to keep things moving despite the challenges.

Cons

The biggest concern in the company is the lack of experienced leadership and strategic clarity. The founders and senior management often appear disconnected from how the lending and fintech ecosystem actually operates. Several important business decisions seem to be taken without proper industry understanding, which has led to repeated course corrections and operational inefficiencies. Key functions like Finance Operations and Partnerships require strong domain expertise in fintech, lender relationships, reconciliation processes, and partner integrations. Unfortunately, the leadership handling these areas does not appear to have deep functional understanding, which has created confusion in processes and slowed down execution. Another major issue is customer acquisition and origination strategy. For a lending fintech, building a strong and sustainable origination engine is critical, but the company still struggles to get this right. The culture also does not encourage open or constructive feedback. Management decisions are largely top-down, and employee inputs are rarely considered seriously. This has resulted in many capable and experienced employees leaving the organization over time. As a result, the company has lost several strong performers who could have helped drive meaningful improvements. Currently only a small group of good employees remain, but attrition continues to be a concern.
