Senior management is essentially the unhinged hothead founders and their boot-lickers, all lacking understandable ambition. After so many years, the company's workings still reek of a stingy family business' ethics. The company also rigged some of the Glassdoor reviews from December 2021. Recent hires were tasked with singing high praises to bring the overall rating up.
Co-founders' expectations know no bounds. Every time you approach the target, they move the finish line.
The concept of work-life balance does not exist. They reduce you to a content-producing cog. You will struggle to find portfolio-worthy pieces amidst steaming heaps of your own work for NewsBytes when you look back at it.
Management doesn't trust employees at all.
NewsBytes constantly compares your work to other writers, including those using the Yantra bot to produce several more stories than humanely possible. Comparisons are direct and in-your-face, and Shikha Chaudhry's praise for one on company-wide communication channels is usually criticism in disguise for someone else. There are always layers to what she says.
Shikha and Sumedh Chaudhry's words and expectations will take a toll on your health. And when that happens, they will deny you leaves you are entitled to. You won't be able to fall back on the vague clauses in your contract because they won't be honored. When you pack up and leave amidst the drama, don't expect your dues to be paid.
