Pros

Salary on Time ( you must not be changing a job only for salary on-time) They hire young and good people (but these people come and go)

Cons

It may sound grandiose but I honestly believe these people are destroying more careers then making one. In a little company of 30 people 19 people left, fired or kicked out in a year. A six year old -and still a start up - with over 50% attrition rate. May be, this time, they strategically lay off in small chunks to save themselves of bad news. Last time they sent a whole dramatic newsletter, showing sympathy to companies like tiny owl, saying we also laid off and we felt bad. Absolute drama on media. This is their second big lay off. And not in news yet. They do a good job creating a virtual superficial hyped colorful- image. Like a polished big empty vessel they produce good sounds but its all empty inside. And it’s not just empty, It’s rusting. Thought leadership is the biggest propaganda here – but sad, their own company struggle to manage employs. Attrition rate is as high as 50%. Work-life absolutely imbalanced, Micromanagement, no job security, after office work, people are sick and tired of traveling in sales, and you might be wasting your Saturdays and Sundays also They talk about flat organization – In a small company of 30 people if an employee can talk to his manager and they flaunt it as a flat culture, than may be. So why they hire people when sooner or later they fire them or create a dirty situation that people themselves put down the paper.? Simple- they experiment. Stop yourself from being their next Gunea pig. If this sounds superlative, do yourself a favor. Go to linkedin, connect with their employees... ask them if they have left this company, if yes, ask them why.? Do your ground research. If you follow them on linkedin, you will be shocked to hear sad facts from there ex employees. But if you are still adamant and blindly running on your career path then be prepared to fall flat on your face and regret later.

Pros

ABSOLUTELY NONE, NONE NONE NONE...

Cons

Before I start anything, and if you are unfortunately called for an Interview or even worse, given an offer. Please step back. Trust me guys, not even a single person is happy apart from the arrogant and ignorant founders and the management body. Well, it all starts with a fake picture they put in front of you. If you hear this, " We are an open and equal opportunity employer" trust me, don't even go further in the interview. Ironically they serve Human Resources and all they do is exactly opposite of that, no culture for humans. They are a rude arrogant bunch of founders going about fooling the HR industry. They literally fool companies who take their services. Its simple for them, copy content from the internet, tweak it and feed in to their mobile app and sell it for exorbitant prices. And to modify a content for a 40 year old human reseource person they have a 20 year old inexperienced person for that. Could you work for a company who does not believe in authenticity. It is only one word which describes them. FAKE Please do not join. They will put a nice bait of salary in front of you. REFRAIN. and the best part, no one uses their own mobile application in house because No one benefits from it. Do we need to say more here? DO NOT ACCEPT OFFER! Far more people have left the organisation in last 6 months then you could imagine. And the BIGGEST joke is that they are an HR company.

Thank you for writing this review. We believe that some of the points you mention warrant a discussion. We as a company made some mistakes in hiring content writers and instructional designers. Our content curation (we never claimed ‘creation’ - but it’s not the same as copy paste - please try doing it once) and bite size method, needed some fresh and innovative thinkers. Conventional instructional designers wouldn’t make the cut for this role. So, sorry - we had to part ways with some content members in that time period. We have a fresh team now - which has served more than 100 customers in the last 6 months with NPS of 50+. If you would like to discuss further, please reach out to our leadership team and we can chat.
