      Pros

      Business model is unique. Saving people feels fulfilling.

      Cons

      The company is run by really rude folks. There's no room for empathy, so most sane folks resign fast. It's some how surviving on the credentials of the main founder, and the product founder. Both of them combined have really great credentials and bringing investor money is feasible for them. Over my two+ years of stay, I have seen the worst in them. The company has a lot of attrition (there are always roles available here). Main reasons for the attrition is the pathetic work culture and their narcissistic attitude. I won't really go into the malpractices they are involved in, but yes, they do indulge in it. Join product if you want a comparatively chill environment (the peer group is atrociously bad though). Join growth if you want a better peer group in terms of skill, but be surrounded by sadists and a early burnout is anything but guaranteed. The work culture is really bad, and it tends to attract folks who are of a similar attitude or culture. Ones who thrive in office politics and blame games, survive and thrive here, often staying here for years and years. As a result of this, people quickly adapt to not taking feedback and resorting to blame games (especially the newly joined junior folks). It gets to a point where getting work done becomes near impossible. Even though it's a startup, it does already feel really rigid. To summarize it all, my stay here was a really bad one. Happy that this phase of my life is finally over.

      Pros

      1) They save people. u can play ur part. unique model of business 2) Diverse team. Young people. gender equivalence.

      Cons

      1) I referred friends in each dept in Impact Guru, so ur experience depends on which dept u join. Good depts to join - Product, tech, insurance, mktg Bad depts to join - content, BD / Sales 2) Some dept heads will screw u if they dont like u. Even if u perform good. need to bootlick. especially older ones in the system, they will go to any length. 3) Founders micromanage. Product founder is the best, practical man, true leader - owns product, tech, mktg. 4) Stupid leave policies

      Pros

      Hard to think of any. Good colleagues - that helped you get through the day, else you would have committed suicide.

      Cons

      - Shady Founder. - Wrong figures. They had put up the figure of 329 cr two years back, but till date we have not seen even 5% of those funds come into the company. - That figure is just there to con the campaigners so they create a campaign with us. - once a campaign is created, we force the campaigners to get funds themselves, no help from our side. - Management has no idea what they are doing, they change the track almost every week. - Founders dont even come to office now a days. They just give you the targets and ask why that is not done on phone. - Outsourced technology infrastructure so no quick solutions to tech problems. Product keeps on not loading or not performing with errors almost everyday. - No leisure activities at all. Very rarely. - At one point of time, even our coffee was limited to twice a day. - Managers will show you the moon almost always misleading you with false promises and no results. - BD team is a call center and is operated as one.
