      Pros

      Nothing. Fraud company. No pros

      Cons

      There is a long list. Don't know where to start with. Let me start from beginning. So when I was interviewed they acted professional and gave a job description and an insight regarding my targets. So I was hired with a responsibility to launch a city. Great isnt it? Everyone would love to be in that position. But wait now the movie begins. On my joining date I was given an HR induction and HR said that I will be handed over to manager in the second half of the day who will help me understanding my work. But till 2 days I didn't hear from anyone. What an irresponsible company. Finally I was added to a WhatsApp group and next day I got a meeting invitation from my manager. I was excited as I thought I will be introduced to someone who will train me regarding my work. I joined the call and there were three fools who were heading the call, all three sits in Bangalore office. Why I said fool, now I will explain. The call was a daily status call of the target completion. Firstly I was surprised that these fools didn't even care to arrange a training of my work and added in a status call when my work had not even started. And that call was an eye opener for me as I came to know lot many things that were not told to me during my interview and the behaviour of all these managers was very unprofessional. I will come to that later. Now the foolest of all started to ask questions regarding the status of my work even after saying that I just joined two days earlier and today is my first official meeting and I have neither received any training nor anyone told me what to do. He very rudely said that training and all are rubbish things and we don't waste our time on that. What an unprofessional guy. God knows if he paid money to get job. Hopeless creature I would say. He asked me to get in touch with my peers and get to know what they are doing and start my work. I did so. So coming to the point where I said that I came to know many things from the meeting which were not told to me during interview, let me describe that. I was told during interview that I will handle an operations guy and a supply guy and I will have a revenue target of 10-12 lakhs from my city. But in meeting I came to know that I will have B2B sales targets which of virus fumigation and daily I need to convert 50 leads. I was surprised and equally shocked to know that. How can they not tell me the same during my interview when I asked about my roles and responsibilities. Also, the leadlist they will not provide, you need to make a database from Just Dial or Google or Sulekha. Next day when I joined the call again there were these 3 fools shouting and screaming at everyone without any behaviour ethics. The greatest shock was they gave us a monthly revenue generation target of 1 Crore which is so illogical, impractical and equally foolish. Dunno if these guys have brain or cow dung in their heads. The management had not done any market research or study so as to come up with a logical business plan. They also said us that company will not spend a single penny in marketing in any of the cities that will newly launch. We have to spend our own money in marketing and reimbursement will be done later provided targets are achieved. Also after working for months I did not receive any company laptop or id card or any official identification document. When asked to HR they used to say in next week you will receive. I later stopped asking as I knew they were fooling me. They asked us to give fake 5 star review of their app in the play store and asked us to send the screenshot as confirmation. Their plan of launching city in B2C model is as follows- No marketing and promotion >Push your manager in city to do B2B sales>Once a B2B virus fumigation is completed then people will know about housejoy and will opt for other B2C services. What a joke! Also the status meetings continued every day where managers would shout and scream everyday. What I concluded about the company after working for few months is that it is more or less a FRAUD COMPANY with some fools being hired as VP or managers. Zero work ethic. No value for the employees. They just want to earn as much possible in a very unprofessional way and also are shameless enough to be so unprofessional. Never listen to problems of employees and scream and shout at them.

      Pros

      It's a great place if you are good in your political and buttering skills. People generally don't expect you to work but not to hurt their ego. Mid-management level people suck big time but if you have good buttering skills you can get away without doing any work. Major Cons : 1. Its a party place, you have party almost thrice a week. Lunches goes on for 2 hours atleast. I don't know what exactly are the investors doing....but their money keeps on flowing on parties. 2. No need to work even 6 hours a day,Go their just pretend that you are working hard and hola!!!! you are a great add to the team. 3. It's great if you are in mid-management level. Mostly the senior management is clueless and confused. So you can fool them as much as you want !!!! 4. The best thing I found their in perspective of career development is that they have good internet connection which allows torrent. Hence you can use it to download courses and study them !!!! ( It's great add-on) 5. They pay you really well for small jobs that doesn't require any so much pay (Negotiate well, if you are joining the company, they will pay you at-least 60% above your current pay )

      Cons

      1. People are duffers and clueless. The only way people think that they can show value to senior management is by shooting others down. 2. Senior management is dumb enough to believe them. 3. Mid level managers are incompetent and know nothings about business and the worst part is they have been given full authority by senior management. 4. They are known to change contracts before firing people so that they don't have to pay extra compensation. PLEASE DON'T SIGN ANYTHING WITHOUT READING IT. HR MIGHT SEEM FRIENDLY BUT IT'S NOT THE CASE. 5. Don't go their if you really want to learn something. It will do you more good by sitting and taking courses at home. They will destroy your profile. Freshers watch-out. They suck, big time.

      The worst decision of my life

      Pros

      Very unfortunately there is nothing I could remember good about the job or the company. Except the business model is a very potential one.

      Cons

      Where do I start now ! #1. ON YOUR OWN : There was no proper training to begin with, only a video conference of around 2 (two) hrs was what I got in the name of training. #2. NO ERROR FOUND : No materials or equipment for the work. I mean how do we operate a city (a new city to be launched) without the bare minimum requirement of a laptop. #3. I DON'T KNOW WHERE : Where in the world are we supposed to tell our clients about the address of the physical office in the city. And how do we expect them to believe that we actually are associated with the company. There was nothing that we could show them to make them believe we were genuine people looking for genuine clients. #4. ONE target FITS all : Be it the operations, or the supply, or the marketing, or the SALES department; they never discriminated. Everyone was instructed to PITCH and SALE (no matter what you were told about the JD in the interview process. It does not concern if you are not even remotely related to SALES in your past experiences. #5. 1st ROUND of SHOTs : Interview process is the most hilarious I have come across in my entire experiences. There was a HR round which was all about scheduling the interview. The "MAIN" interview was mostly about briefing the role and negotiating salary. And Wallah ! you just cracked an interview (I prefer calling it "cracking a JOKE") #6. ALWAYS respect ELDERS : The senior management team was brutally bossy and used MOCKERY as a self defending mechanism whenever there was any kind of dissent regarding any work issues. They were like some self proclaimed masters in their field without even having the slightest idea about the collateral they were spreading everywhere just to meet their targets. They basically followed 3 agendas : PROFIT, PROFIT and PROFIT to be precise. #7. BULL'S EYE: The target (that was not even when the JD was described) is the boldest thing one might see while working here. They scaled the targets of 1 M (10 Lakhs) to around a whooping target of 100 M (10 Crores) in just a time period of 1 day (after the 2 hrs training). This was not even the biggest challenge we faced. The fact that we were living in a world of Pandemic was their slightest concern and they only wanted to pull their profit curve to highest point possible without checking the fact that there is an Economic Crunch going on in the whole WORLD. #8. Oh HOW i LEFT : The day i resigned was the most unprofessional side i could imagine of such a big organization. There was not even a call or a simple text from my manager. The HR just called to confirm if I had actually sent the resignation. (This behavior actually helped me convince myself of taking the decision)
