Pros

Nothing i have felt there

Cons

Many of the engineers who joined the company in its early days have assumed leadership roles across various departments, which can sometimes make it challenging for newcomers to establish themselves. Unfortunately, there have been instances where a few local individuals have exhibited unwelcoming behavior. The opportunities for professional growth within the company seem limited, and it can sometimes feel like newer employees are not given the same level of consideration. Additionally, it appears that the distribution of ESOPs (Employee Stock Ownership Plans) may favor the early joiners, leaving newcomers with relatively fewer benefits. In cases where the company faces financial difficulties, there is a perceived risk that newer employees might be the first to be let go, while significant investments from million-dollar investors are retained in the form of ESOPs. Given these considerations, it's advisable to carefully evaluate the company and the potential risks before deciding to join.

Pros

The company offers a product that significantly enhances the investment abilities of retail investors. However, there seems to be a shift in focus towards catering to more high-net-worth individuals. There is commendable adherence to good software engineering practices and utilisation of a modern tech stack. The remuneration is quite competitive, especially considering it's a start-up, with equity options included. The work culture is fairly decent and affords a degree of flexibility.

Cons

There's a concern regarding the management who have not been forthright about the layoffs, and the manner in which they've been executed is rather regrettable. People were laid off a week prior to the salary appraisal and annual bonus, leaving them with nothing. The technical abilities and character of the CTO raise concerns, so caution is advised. Additional hours are often necessary to ensure project completion.
