Early stage startup with great benefits and an eager willingness to create change from past mistakes - Anonymous employee Roomi Employee Review

Reading all of these negative reviews about Roomi and the CEO is quite disheartening as a current employee because I absolutely love working for the company. Recently I too noticed shifts in the company as far as team members but coming from a start-up background myself this is nothing new and to be expected. Things are always changing in startups and things move at a fast past which is what honestly makes it exciting for me! Although for some people this may be too much you should kind of know what to expect when applying to work for a startup you can’t slack up for too long. I personally like Ajay the CEO a lot and unlike other CEOs I’ve worked with in the past he’s really taken time to talk to me, help and encourage me even in times I could see he’s super stressed or busy. I mean I can only imagine the stress he must go through on a daily running a company this big at his age while also trying to push people and maintain high spirits at all times. The transparency and honesty in the company is something I really appreciate. In other companies I worked for they never spoke about raising capital nor things like that it was always really hidden so I appreciate the fact they are open about these things. As a person who comes from an immigrant background I have a lot of respect for anyone who can work as hard as Ajay has to get Roomi to where it has providing job opportunities for people like me! I can also respect the fact that he gives people chances. So it’s unfortunate that these few people have written these terrible things and seem to take things so personally. They don’t speak for me or most people I know in the company! I don’t believe any company or leader is perfect. We all have room to grown and improve. But believe the future for Roomi is bright and I hope I’m here for many more years to come!

The hours can be pretty long and can come with a lot of stress as you’re expected to meet tight deadlines at times. So overall the work-life balance can be a lot but I’ve heard the management speak about trying to improved this recently.
