Extreme Toxic Company Culture and Non-Ethical Pratices on daily basis

Pros

Well, I wanted to but seriously I can't think of any. If I must, since it's a startup you get to work on a bunch of things and that's it.

Cons

I can list a lot here but below are some of the top ones: The top one being, since they pay you, they think you are their slave. 1. Top management is itself completely ridiculous. They will start messaging/calling you on WhatsApp in the middle of the night to do extra work, even if you have worked for the entire day. 2. Messaging and calls on weekends are very normal for this company and yes you won't get anything in return for putting in all the extra hours. 3. They literally abuse people and almost their managers fight frequently among themselves openly on a conference call. 4. Apart from salary no other benefit is provided. 5. The worst comes after you resign from the company. You will have to beg them to provide the necessary documents like termination letter and experience letter as well as salary of the last month.

Dear Anonymous Former Employee Let me begin by highlighting that the Company had to let go of you for gross negligence and incompetence exhibited over and over again. In ~12 months of work in data science, your contribution was nothing short of a disaster. As a Company we take employee terminations very very very seriously. But unfortunately in your case, despite many opportunities including the opportunity you had to directly work under the mentorship with the COO and Head of Analytics, we did not see any iota of improvement. You are referring to Company calling you in non-business hours. As a matter of fact, your utter negligence had to be salvaged by our CTO burning his mid-night oil and pulling off something in 1 day that took you over 3 months with no output. Such incompetence is something Gamechange has not witnessed in over 5 years of its operation before you were terminated. Your emotional outpour is understandable; and we wish you well. But unfortunately we could not carry your incompetent weight any longer after giving you opportunities for almost 12 months.

Pros

I have been at Gamechange for several years now and witnessed Gamechange start from a modest office in Dubai to a Company now spanning multiple countries - UAE (Dubai), India, Singapore and Indonesia. The Company has aspirations for multiple countries in SE Asia. Growth from one country to four countries has made the strengths of the Company clear to me # Out-of-the-box thinking Out of the box thinking defines the nature of work and development at Gamechange. The Company works with some of the largest Enterprise Clients in Middle East and SE Asia. This is made possible by sharp problem solving focus and innovative approaches to day to day work. # Sharp goal orientation Nothing I do is goal less at Gamechange. For a Company that is designed to move fast, I expected that there will be wasteful engineering. However, razor sharp focus on product and key markets (Indonesia, UAE) ensures that engineering waste is minimal. Every engineer works on something that goes into production. No lab experiments # Learn tech learn new domains At Gamechange I have found myself working on the cutting edge of Fintech and now chat commerce (product called ShopKey)... When I joined the Company, I had little to no idea about Banking, Enterprise SaaS. I have learnt not only about the Banking and Financial Services domain but also about the nuances of SE Asia as a market as well as social / chat commerce. # Flat hierarchy The Company has a flat hierarchy and everyone in the team gets the opportunity to work with the leadership ; e.g., even a very new / young member of the team can work directly with the Country CEO of Indonesia for example - which I find is quite rare even by start-up standards # Company Board comprising of industry stalwarts The Company is Chaired by ex Managing Director of Google Asia Pacific region. The ability of the Company to have such level of mentorship and brain trust at top helps keep the overall direction crystal clear

Cons

The Company's growth has created its own challenges. The cons I see shaping up are - Stretching the team thin unless recruitment is ramped up in new markets like Indonesia - Limited visibility on tech blogs. I would like to see the Company spearhead and drive content / discussions on leading tech forums as the Company works on some of the most advanced tech in its space. The Company's engineering work needs to find more voice e.g., through tech blogs and discussions - More mentorship time. I would like the Company to allocate atleast 20% of leadership time in mentoring junior colleagues through formal informal channels

Pros

1. Great place to learn and grow - each and every person in the company can take ownership, put their ideas on the table and be heard, can contribute immensely and drive things forward 2. Senior management is very understanding - especially during difficult times (COVID) they have been very flexible and offered full support 3. Good work life balance

Cons

1. My journey has been pretty good so far. Since the company is scaling up, I think more focus on strengthening the collaborative environment is essential.
